ServiceNow, a software company that helps businesses manage workflows and integrate artificial intelligence, announced that it will lay off\u00a018 workers at its San Diego office.<\/p>\n

This is the software company\u2019s third round of layoffs this year,<\/a> bringing the total number of eliminated positions to 214 at its San Diego office, at 4801 Eastgate Mall, according to Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) filings submitted to California\u2019s Employment Development Department.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0most recent WARN notice, filed last week, listed 18 San Diego positions, which are all in sales.<\/p>\n

The previous round tallied 133 San Diego positions eliminated at the end of July. More than half of the layoffs were senior and director-level positions. In June, 63 jobs were cut.<\/a><\/p>\n

Many other software companies<\/a> have also announced layoffs in 2026, leading analysts to dub this year the \u201cSaaS-pocalypse.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Despite those challenges, ServiceNow\u2019s most recent earnings call,<\/a> on July 22, was touted as a success.<\/p>\n

It was \u201can outstanding quarter that highlights ServiceNow\u2019s broad-based demand, strong execution, and operating leverage,\u201d said Gina Mastantuono, the company\u2019s chief financial officer.<\/p>\n

In the second quarter, the company reported $3.877 billion in revenue, a 23% increase from a year earlier. Its profit was $298 million, down from $385 million in net income in the same period last year.<\/p>\n

This year, CEO Bill McDermott has said his strategy is to use AI to boost efficiency.<\/p>\n

This strategy elliptically signaled job cuts. McDermott announced plans to keep headcount flat after ServiceNow\u2019s acquisitions of Moveworks, Veza and Armis \u2014 which added thousands of employees. Holding headcount steady would require eliminating a corresponding number of positions elsewhere.<\/p>\n

ServiceNow will report its third-quarter earnings on Oct. 28.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ServiceNow, a software company that helps businesses manage workflows and integrate artificial intelligence, announced that it will lay…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":501344,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[387,181,74,76,75,1970,1696],"class_list":["post-501343","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-business","tag-latest-headlines","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news","tag-technology","tag-top-stories-sdut"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501343","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=501343"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/501343\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/501344"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=501343"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=501343"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=501343"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
