Adobe's job cuts are significantly less severe than those made by other tech leaders like Amazon, HP, Cisco, and Meta.
At the end of the fiscal third quarter on September 2, the California-based software giant had more than 28,700 employees.
The company said it “shifted some employees to positions that support critical initiatives” and had sieved out “a small number” of other jobs.
“Adobe is not doing companywide layoffs and we are still hiring for critical roles.”
