Tech and biotech layoffs accelerate across California as Western Digital, Qualcomm cut hundreds

Over 25,500 Bay Area tech workers have lost jobs since 2022, with layoffs accelerating in 2023; additional hundreds affected in Southern California entertainment sector.

Western Digital, Qualcomm, Twist Bioscience, and Disney's streaming divisions are among the latest to announce cuts, adding hundreds of names to a ledger that grows longer each week. What was once framed as correction has begun to look like transformation, as the assumption of perpetual growth that defined a generation of tech and entertainment work gives way to something more uncertain and more permanent.
