Australian employees of LinkedIn have been caught up in the Microsoft-owned platform’s global cull, with members of local senior leadership among those eliminated as the company moves to tighten costs.
The Australian redundancies – about 10 in total – form part of a 5 per cent reduction to LinkedIn’s global workforce of more than 17,500 full-time staff. The cull, thought to number about 875, was announced on Thursday and first reported by Reuters.
Two sources confirmed some members of the professional networking platform’s Australian leadership team were among those to lose their jobs.
