Santa Clara, California-based ServiceNow, a software company that supplies cloud computing platforms for the creation and management of automated business workflows, has announced another round of layoffs following the June 2026 reduction of hundreds of employees.
This latest round of layoffs will impact 133 San Diego, California employees, including senior and director-level positions and those in customer-facing roles at the San Diego office. Hundreds more companywide may be on the chopping block. Separations are scheduled for September 28, 2026.
According to a spokesperson, "As part of our ongoing efforts to evolve the business and position ServiceNow for continued growth, we are making some organizational changes that are global in nature. While these decisions are never easy, they are intended to better align our talent and resources with our strategic priorities. We remain committed to supporting impacted employees through this transition."
“We are driving efficiencies across the business, actively investing in and hiring for AI-focused skills, and managing headcount with discipline to end 2026 where we started. As we shared earlier this year, that’s how we grow sustainably and win. ServiceNow is committed to having the right talent in the right roles, and that means making necessary changes to how we are structured."
Change is constant, and it's coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life, nor promises of a bright future. We see good people being laid off through no fault of their own. Just because something terrible hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, at any time, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. While many employees can read the writing on the wall, why do most assume it’s targeted at someone else? Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
