SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — Dozens more Bay Area tech workers are set to lose their jobs in the coming weeks as tech layoffs continue to roil the industry. In the latest state filings with the Employment Development Department, Google, Microsoft and Cruise all announced fresh job cuts.

Microsoft also continues to cut jobs in the Bay Area. In the latest state filings, the tech company announced 8 layoffs across two different locations — one in Sunnyvale and one in Mountain View. The Microsoft layoffs were processed on Monday and will take effect on August 1.

Cruise layoffs

Cruise, General Motors’ abandoned robotaxi project, laid off a single employee at its Bryant Street office in San Francisco. This follows the company laying off half its employees earlier this year following an announcement from the automaker that it was pulling out of the robotaxi business.
