      <description>Workday said on February 4, 2026 that it would lay off about 400 employees, roughly 2% of its workforce, in a restructuring aimed at non-revenue-generating roles inside its Global Customer Operations department. The HR and finance software company said most of the affected positions were customer-support staff who help clients but do not directly bring in revenue. Total charges tied to the move were estimated at about $135 million, including around $40 million in cash, largely for severance, employee benefits, and related costs. The company expected the restructuring to be substantially complete by early 2027. This was Workday&apos;s second major round in just over a year, following the roughly 1,750 jobs it eliminated in February 2025.</description>

      <description>Workday announced on February 5, 2025 that it would eliminate 1,750 jobs, about 8% of its global workforce, as the HR software giant redirected spending toward artificial intelligence. CEO Carl Eschenbach said in a staff memo that &quot;companies everywhere are reimagining how work gets done&quot; and that rising AI demand &quot;has the potential to drive a new era of growth for Workday.&quot; The company said it would prioritize investment in AI and platform development while rigorously evaluating returns elsewhere, and planned to hire in select strategic roles during the year. U.S.-based employees were guaranteed a minimum of 12 weeks of severance pay; international workers received packages governed by local labor law. No specific departments or geographic offices were identified as disproportionately affected.</description>
