Tech companies chop 100-plus more Bay Area jobs in new layoff rounds
"Hitachi Vantara announced it would cut 128 jobs at the company's offices on Augustine Drive in Santa Clara, the cloud-based data storage and software company reported to the state Employment Department. The company said its layoffs, which are permanent, would occur on Dec. 31 and might continue through Jan. 31, 2026. "Affected employees were notified by remote video correspondence and by email," Hitachi Vantara Human Resources stated in its WARN letter to the EDD."
"Two tech companies have decided to eliminate a combined 180 Bay Area jobs, adding to a growing tally of layoffs affecting the region, new state labor reports show. HPE, officially known as Hewlett Packard Enterprise Co., disclosed a decision to permanently cut 52 jobs at its office on Great America Center in San Jose, the Texas-based information technology firm stated in a WARN filing with the EDD. HPE said its cuts began on Oct. 17 and could continue through Nov. 14."
"The new batch of layoffs extends what has been a rough stretch for tech workers in the Bay Area. During the final week of October, tech companies decided to slash 1,451 Bay Area jobs as companies such as Amazon, Meta Platforms, and Applied Materials disclosed their layoff decisions. Bay Area tech companies have made staffing cuts in recent years following a hiring boom during the COVID-19 outbreak to meet soaring demand for remote work and distance learning."
