HP is dropping the axe in 2025, and it’s not looking pretty. As part of its multi-year “Future Now” plan, HP layoffs in 2025 are set to roll out with a fresh wave of job cuts. The upcoming layoffs will wrap up a broader goal of slashing 4,000 to 6,000 jobs by the end of fiscal 2025. But, who’s in the crosshairs? From factory floors to HR desks, here’s what we know about the upcoming layoffs at HP and why it’s trimming the fluff.

These aren’t random layoffs at HP. The picture is quite clear. HP CEO Enrique Lores told Bloomberg this month that the HP layoffs will hit “all over the company,” but with a surgical precision. As far of the upcoming job cuts go, it’ll most likely hit factory workers, consumer support reps, HR administrations and legacy tech engineers. It’s a tough pill to swallow for employees especially in the wake of never-ending tech layoffs in 2025. HP wants to ride a wave of major transformation by balancing a soft PC market and placing big bets on AI. The upcoming HP layoffs reflect this pivot.

Why is HP cutting jobs again

HP is not making this move out of thin air. The HP job losses tie back to a brutal post-pandemic slump in consumer PC sales. The giant’s revenue went down to 7% and 11% in units in Q1 2025. At the same time, HP’s commercial PC sales jumped 10%, showing where the real money is. If you add in another $116 million from the recent acquisition of Human AI in February 2025, you have a company that’s struggling to shed old skin for one that’ll fit AI future.

HP layoffs in 2025 job cuts and job losses HR layoffs

HP CEO Enrique Lores told this month that the HP layoffs will hit “all over the company,” but with a surgical precision.

Here’s the breakdown of why HP layoffs in 2025 are happening:

  • Consumer PC Blues: With people not buying laptops like it’s 2020; HP is cutting where demand has dried up.
  • Cost Crunch: The end goal? $300 million in savings from this round of HP layoffs alone. It’s part of a $1.9 billion target.
  • AI Pivot: Cash from job cuts at HP is fueling AI-integrated PCs and high-performance computing.
  • Supply Chain Shift: By moving manufacturing out of China, HP can rethinking what needs to be prioritized.

Enrique Lores calls it “rebalancing.” We call it survival. Either way, it’s layoffs with a purpose and a human cost.

Who’s affected by layoffs at HP?

No one has seen a leaked list yet. However, HP has hinted at several jobs in the past. The upcoming layoffs will likely hit these roles the hardest.

  • Factory and Supply Chain Workers: HP’s China exit disrupts several plants there. Assembly line workers, quality testers, and logistics coordinators are on shaky ground as roles hit hard in the 2019 HP job cuts of 7,000 to 9,000.
  • Consumer PC Support Staff: With consumer sales declining, customer service reps for low-end laptops and operations coordinators for retail channels could be a part of the upcoming layoffs at HP.
  • HR and Back-Office Teams: HR layoffs at HP are part of “operational efficiency” and targets HR administrators, finance roles, and facilities managers.
  • Legacy Hardware Engineers: Firmware developers and hardware designers tied to non-AI printers or last-gen desktops might find their projects shelved as HP pivots to AI.

What’s next for HP?

The HP layoffs aren’t just numbers. We’ve seen the fallout before. In wake of the tech layoffs in 2025, more and more workers are struggling for new gigs. For HR professionals reading this: the lessons are important. HP’s layoffs will mirror other – Amazon’s managers purge, Dell’s quiet layoffs.
