Tech layoffs update: AMD, iRobot, 23andMe, and other big firms see job losses in November 2024

A number of high-profile companies have announced staff reductions during the first half of November as the holiday season approaches.

While the massive layoffs of 2022 and 2023 have thankfully not been replicated in terms of numbers in 2024, this year has seen a fair amount of job losses across various industries, with the tech sector continuing to see some of the most high-profile announcements. In October, major tech companies, including Meta, Dropbox, and Tidal, cut jobs ahead of the holidays. And November so far is no different when it comes to major names cutting workers.
