The month of June saw a fresh wave of layoffs across the technology sector, with companies both large and small making significant workforce reductions as they adapt to shifting market demands and the growing influence of artificial intelligence.

Rivian: Last month, electric vehicle manufacturer Rivian Automotive, Inc. (RIVN  ) reduced its headcount by approximately 140 employees, about 1% of its workforce.

The layoffs primarily impacted the manufacturing team as the company seeks to streamline operations ahead of its upcoming R2 SUV launch.

Bumble: Online dating platform Bumble, Inc. (BMBL  ) announced in June that it would cut around 240 jobs, about 30% of its workforce.

According to an SEC filing, the move is intended to boost operational efficiency so that the company can use the savings toward the development of new products and technologies.

Google: Alphabet, Inc.'s (GOOGL  ) (GOOG  ) Google also made significant cuts in June, downsizing its smart TV division by 25% which affected up to 75 employees.

Intel: Intel Corp. (INTC  ) announced plans to lay off between 15% and 20% of its Intel Foundry division as part of a broader effort to become leaner and more efficient. The company is also winding down its automotive business.

Other notable layoffs include 90 employees at Playtika, 25 employees at Airtime, and another round of cuts at Microsoft Corp. (MSFT  ), which followed May's reduction of over 6,500 jobs.

Microsoft's layoffs affected roles across engineering, product management, marketing and legal.

The wave of tech layoffs in June reflects the industry's ongoing transformation as companies prioritize AI and automation while seeking efficiency and innovation in an uncertain economy.
