    Die Zahl der Entlassungen im Technologiebereich ist so hoch wie seit 2023 nicht mehr, und KI ist einer der Hauptgründe dafür

      AI is the big scapegoat. Trump’s economic policies is the real reason.

      I can’t wait for this AI nonsense to come crashing down. Like, yeah, it has legit applications but they’re few and far between.

      Layoffs are at their worst by mismanaged companies and AI is the only accepted excuse for the stock market.

      I feel like this propaganda piece is giving an easy scapegoat without the nuance of actual journalism that would show the administration is at fault.

      Overhiring during coronavirus is the real reason. AI is just an excuse to hide behind.

      Tech thought the solution to their problem was throwing more people at it. Didn’t work. AI has nothing to do with that.

      AI isn’t replacing developers; leadership is just betting it eventually will.
      What it actually does today is crank out prototypes and pile on technical debt.
      Someone still has to turn that into a real system, which makes skilled developers more valuable, not less.

      These layoffs are signs the companies are wasting their developer talent and have made a bunch of bad bets that are coming due.

      If AI was actually improving productivity you’d see a massive amplification of output quality and existing companies launching into new markets with their spare development talent.

      So it’s just a coincidence the layoffs are happening right after quarterly profits drop?

    13. Deer_Investigator881 on

      So you’re telling me 2024-2025 were good years for tech layoffs?

      AI is just the sheet with a hole in it, through which company leadership is screwing their employees to cover their poor choices in a struggling market. Some adoption yes, but nothing at scale.

      Nooo, never… ai is the best thing since sliced bread! If i speak against ai then I’m infringing the freedoms of those who have their lives spoon-fed to them by ai. Bunch of *bleep* clowns.

      Worst thing is that this whole situation doesn’t just fuck up tech, it’s fucking up non-AI businesses as well.

      Just got laid off cause our investors were bleeding money from AI investments, and since we’re in their portfolio, we also had to do a little lay-off dance too, and call it „restructuring“.

      Up and fuck this.

      SDEs and people in general are amazing at sticking their head in the sand.

      Everyone, ignore opinions expressed here or any online forum. Decide for yourself what is true. Don’t feel pressured to believe a certain way just because everyone else does. And also don’t be afraid to acknowledge realities that don’t benefit you, because that is the first step to planning for the future. You can’t run from reality without knowing it for what it really is first.

      If it’s AI, what was it before AI? What was the excuse then? Also, very annoying we normalized „tools“ as replacement instead of aiding employees.

    24. pewqsdfuaop on

      It feels like companies are laying off AI because I am getting more messages on LinkedIn again 😀

    26. intelpentium400 on

      AI is the reason because they blew all their money on a fantasy, not because AI replaced people

    27. Pomme2 on

      Executives have tied their entire image and strategy to AI. There departments and sub teams within teams dedicated to AI. Will be a long time till it actually meets the expectation or ever.

      I hope the remaining employee at Oracle doesn’t lift a finger to perform more than they’re contractually obliged. You don’t fire 20k people because of AI and then ask your employees to pick up the slack. Slap to the face that is.

    29. Jensen1994 on

      AI is not the reason. AI is the world facing reason to simply improve bottom lines and lead to a shoddier customer experience.

    30. r3dk0w on

      It’s crazy how giant companies like Oracle and Microsoft lay off so many people but they are also hiring brand new people. Right now Microsoft has 2500+ jobs available and Oracle has 508 jobs open.

      These are companies that have laid off so many people in the past year, they could make their own mid-sized city.

      Hey VZ, give us a Layoff or a Package, Your new Management is absolute garbage. Your direction is into a brick wall we don’t want to hit.

    33. Brambletail on

      AI spending is the reason. AI productivity might be like 5-10% of the reason

    34. Hydrottle on

      AI makes a great scapegoat because otherwise it sounds like the company is facing headwinds.

    36. Nand0_456 on

      AI is not the reason. It’s jobs being sent to India. No one talks about the mass migration of jobs being sent to India.

    37. happiwarriorgoddess on

      No private equity and private credit dried up and investors want their money.

    38. snanarctica on

      I don’t believe this. Ai can’t really do anything worth a damn. It’s bad at music art and it’s confidentially wrong a lot . At least when trying to do anything remotely complex.

    39. NotInEpsteinFiles on

      Sorry to hear that. We need some regulation with AI but dumpy doesn’t give two shits.

    40. crodensis on

      I got laid off in 2023 and again a few months ago, so I guess that’s accurate.

    43. madgoat on

      It’s probably not AI directly replacing workers, but CEOs buying into the whole AI snake oil thing. 

      Eventually they’ll see that AI can’t replace skilled workers, and after losing enough money in the AI scam, they’ll be hiring people again.
