Tech and biotech companies have revealed plans for enough job cuts to erase more than 6,000 jobs in the Bay Area.

Tech and biotech companies have revealed plans recently for enough job cuts to erase more than 6,000 jobs in the Bay Area, cutbacks that could weigh on the region’s economy in the weeks and months to come.

Here are some primary details of the notable staffing reductions being planned, or recently completed, in the nine-county region by tech and biotech companies.
