About Layoffs.nl
Layoffs.nl is an independent, community-driven tracker documenting workforce reductions across the tech industry — with a focus on layoffs triggered by AI adoption and company strategic pivots.
Why We Exist
The rise of AI and continuous reshaping of corporate strategies have accelerated workforce changes at a pace that traditional media struggles to keep up with. Layoff announcements are scattered across press releases, news articles, LinkedIn posts, and internal memos.
Layoffs.nl exists to consolidate this information into a single, readable timeline — helping workers understand industry dynamics, assisting researchers studying the economic impact of automation, and giving job seekers a real-time picture of where the market is contracting.
What We Focus On
AI-Driven Layoffs
We specifically track workforce reductions where companies cite AI automation, LLM adoption, or productivity tooling as a contributing reason for headcount cuts.
Strategic Restructuring
Mergers, acquisitions, pivots, cost-cutting drives, and business model changes that result in significant headcount reductions are all within scope.
Affected Headcount
Where disclosed, we record the number of affected employees and the percentage of the total workforce impacted by each event.
Industry Trends
Aggregated data helps identify which sectors are cutting most aggressively and how trends evolve over time across the Trends page.
Data Sources
All data on Layoffs.nl is collected from two sources:
- Online research — public news articles, official company announcements, press releases, and credible media reports gathered from across the web.
- Community submissions — events submitted directly by users who have first-hand knowledge or have spotted a report we have not yet captured.
Each record includes a source link wherever one is available so you can verify the information directly. We do not have any formal data partnerships or paid data feeds.
Data Disclaimer

We do not independently verify every submission. Reported headcount figures reflect the numbers announced at the time of the event and may not match final or revised figures released later by the company. We are not responsible for any decisions made based on data found on this site.
