据 IT 之家报道，微软旗下职业社交网站领英（LinkedIn）在当地时间周一宣布，由于对招聘服务的需求放缓，该公司将在今年第二轮裁员中裁减其工程、人才和财务团队的 668 名员工。这次裁员在微软 2 万名员工中约占 3% 左右，进一步加剧了科技行业今年的裁员局势。
根据就业公司 Challenger, Gray & Christmas 的数据，科技行业在今年上半年裁员数已经达到了 141516 人，而去年同期约为 6000 人。公开资料显示，领英定位是互联网职业社交网站，并通过广告销售和向使用该网络寻找合适候选人的招聘和销售人员收取订阅费来赚钱。
值得一提的是，这不是领英第一次进行裁员。今年 5 月，领英曾裁减销售、运营和支持团队的 716 个职位，以精简其运营并消除层级。
此次裁员对全球范围内的职场社交网站产生了进一步影响，尤其是在当前全球经济衰退和新冠疫情的大背景下。不过，领英仍计划扩大其亚洲和欧洲市场的业务，并投资于技术和产品升级，以满足用户不断变化的需求。
英文标题：LinkedIn to cut 668 jobs in second round of layoffs this year

新闻内容：
According to IT 之家，Microsoft’s professional networking site LinkedIn announced on Monday that it would be cutting 668 jobs in the second round of layoffs this year due to a decrease in demand for recruitment services. This move follows the company’s announcement in May that it would be eliminating 716 positions in sales, operations, and support teams to streamline its operations and eliminate layers.
The layoffs represent about 3% of Microsoft’s 200,000 employees, which is further indicative of the significant job cuts in the tech industry this year. The data from employment company Challenger, Gray & Christmas shows that the number of layoffs in the tech industry reached 141,516 people in the first half of this year, a significant increase from the 60,000 people in the same period last year.
LinkedIn, which is also known as the LinkedIn, is a social networking site designed for job seekers, recruiters, and salespeople. The company generates revenue by selling advertising space on its platform and charges subscription fees to users looking for suitable candidates.
It’s worth noting that this is not the first time LinkedIn has undergone a restructuring. In May, the company announced that it would be downsizing its sales, operations, and support teams by 716 positions to streamline its operations and eliminate unnecessary layers.
The layoffs have once again raised concerns about the future of the job market, particularly in the context of the current global economic recession and the COVID-19 pandemic. However, LinkedIn remains committed to expanding its operations in Asia and Europe, as well as investing in technology and product upgrades to meet the changing demands of its users.
