"SAN JOSE Two tech companies, IBM and Infineon, have disclosed new rounds of employment cutbacks that will erase the jobs of more than 100 tech workers in the Bay Area. The staffing reductions extend what has turned out to be a difficult two weeks for Bay Area tech workers, who are collectively facing the loss of several hundred jobs in the region as a result of recent layoff disclosures by their employers."
"IBM is cutting 75 positions at 555 Bailey Ave. in the Coyote Valley region of South San Jose. The information technology and software titan plans to conduct the layoffs on Jan. 5, 2026, according to the WARN letter IBM sent to the state EDD. Infineon, a semiconductor maker, is eliminating 46 jobs on Champion Court in North San Jose. These staffing reductions are scheduled to begin taking place on Nov. 14 of this year. Both companies described the job cuts as permanent."
"Tech companies have revealed plans through a series of recent WARN notices to eliminate 1,751 jobs, according to filings during the last week of October and the first week of November. Most of these layoffs were disclosed in late October, when Amazon, Meta Platforms and Applied Materials reported separate layoff decisions. Earlier this week, Hitachi Vantara revealed plans to cut 128 jobs in Santa Clara, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise, or HPE, reported a decision to cut 52 jobs in San Jose."
