Western Digital layoff history
PinkSlip has recorded 3 confirmed layoff events at Western Digital, running from November 2022 to June 2023. Together they account for roughly 522 disclosed roles, or about 1.0% of an estimated 51,000-person workforce. Scoring uses that share rather than the raw number, because the same headcount means very different things at a 10,000-person company and a 200,000-person one. Source: layoffs.fyi. Recent events weigh more than older ones — each decays on a half-life instead of dropping out on a fixed date — so the most recent filing on June 13, 2023 carries the most weight in today's score.
How Western Digital compares to other tech employers
Western Digital (WDC) is a Data Storage company tracked as part of the NASDAQ-100 and currently scores 29 out of 100, where 0 is the safest reading and 100 the riskiest. That is safer than 71% of the 68 tech employers PinkSlip tracks. Over the past week the score held flat, and over the past month it eased 3 points.
What is driving the Western Digital score
Western Digital's score is driven mainly by the public record — confirmed layoff filings and the financial and news signals around them. No crowd reports have come in over the past 30 days, so nothing is currently corroborating or contradicting that record from the inside. Absence of reports is deliberately not treated as evidence of safety — a quiet company and an unobserved one look identical in public data, so the model never discounts risk for silence alone. At this level the signals do not suggest imminent action, though the score is recomputed every morning and a single filing or earnings miss can move it quickly.
Western Digital layoff risk — frequently asked questions
Has Western Digital had layoffs recently?
PinkSlip has tracked 3 layoff events at Western Digital in the past year, the latest on June 13, 2023, totalling roughly 522 disclosed roles. Undisclosed headcounts are excluded from that total, so treat it as a floor rather than a full count.
How is the Western Digital layoff risk score calculated?
PinkSlip blends 10+ public data sources — historical layoff events, quarterly earnings, hiring and news signals, and anonymous crowd reports — into a single 0–100 layoff risk score. Signals are weighted by how predictive they have been historically, and each one decays on a half-life as it ages rather than expiring on a fixed date — so a layoff announced last month weighs roughly twice as much as the same layoff two months earlier, and fades out gradually instead of disappearing overnight.
How often does the Western Digital risk score update?
Every day. An automated job re-scrapes the public sources each morning and recomputes every tracked company's score, so the 7-day movement shown above always compares against freshly ingested data. Quarterly earnings refresh on each company's own reporting schedule.
Where does PinkSlip's Western Digital layoff data come from?
The layoff events listed above are sourced from layoffs.fyi. Across all companies PinkSlip aggregates state WARN notices, layoffs.fyi, quarterly earnings filings, and layoff coverage from major business and tech outlets. Everything is public data — no employer submissions, and no paywalled sources.
