Editorial note
About 875 roles worldwide (5% of ~17,500), announced May 13; a California WARN confirms 606 (effective July 13: 352+66 Mountain View, 108 San Francisco, 59 Sunnyvale, 21 Carpinteria). LinkedIn explicitly denied AI as the cause ('not about AI replacing jobs'), but Reuters, Bloomberg and Inc. report it as AI-driven — hence Mixed with an AI-denied flag. The 606 California positions are counted toward the US total.
