The cuts continue a trend of tech layoffs after large companies such as Google, Meta, and Amazon laid off thousands of workers last year. Ten days into this year, more companies have announced job cuts.

Earlier on Wednesday, Amazon let off hundreds of employees from its MGM studios, Prime Video, and Twitch streaming service.

This month, Xerox announced plans to reduce its workforce by 15% of its 23,000 employees, while Unity Software, a provider of video game software, announced plans to slash 1,800 positions, or 25% of its workforce.

Since July 2022, Google's CEO, Sundar Pichai, has pushed the corporation to narrow its focus and slash costs as the state of the world economy worsened.
