Feeling awful for all of us that were impacted. It will take a lot for me to trust an employer again,\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another former employee Emily Beiers wrote, \u201cUnfortunately, my time at LinkedIn has come to an end. My Technical Recruiter role was impacted due to a reduction in workforce,\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems that the funding winter, and economic uncertainty has severely affected several major companies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As an impact, mass Layoffs have taken place all across the tech industry.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to this, Amazon Layoffs had impacted over 18,000 people and Google Layoffs impacted 12,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now,&nbsp; LinkedIn seems to be the latest tech company hit by layoffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Considering the number of layoffs in recent times, now the news of layoffs does not surprise much, but the suspense remains with which company this time.&nbsp;
