Job Cuts In 2022
Adobe’s workforce adjustments are much smaller than those made by other companies this year.
In addition to Amazon.com, HP, Cisco Systems, and Meta Platforms Inc. also reported thousands of job cuts this year. In October, Challenger, Gray, and Christmas Inc. reported 9,587 job losses in the tech industry.
According to the consulting firm, these numbers represent the highest monthly total since November 2020.
Companies across telecom, electronics, hardware manufacturing, and software development have previously announced or confirmed job cuts.
Big pickup in Challenger layoffs announcements. We all are familiar with the tech layoffs, what's interesting is if it looks like its spreading (to say construction or beyond). Short answer is not really. Very concentrated in tech in NY and SF. Thread:

Future Plans For Adobe
Adobe announced last September that it would purchase Inc. for $20 billion. Once approved, Adobe and Figma’s deal will be the largest acquisition of a private software company.
The United States Department of Justice is investigating the deal due to possible antitrust violations.
The DOJ requested more information and data from the business last month regarding the proposed acquisition.
The Company will expand its web offerings to cater to more customers who do not subscribe to their professional tiers.
As Canva Inc. and Lightricks Ltd. demonstrate, web-based companies for editing software are declining.
“I think there is a huge opportunity to bring those capabilities from Adobe Creative Suite and Creative Cloud into Figma and utilize them more.
As well as to make it possible to transition between these different creative modes so that your workflow becomes more seamless,” Dylan Field, CEO of Figma, said.
