AI still top reason for cuts third month in row. 97k workers gone in may with lots due to it. Firms say its for efficiency but really trading jobs for code quick.
Broader numbers hold up elsewhere yet this keeps happening and could get worse pretty fast. How far does it go as tech improves more each year.
Corporations love using it as an excuse because it takes the blame of their own greedy asses.
Some is real, some is scapegoat, but I believe the golden age of labour and the middle class is well behind us, and unemployment will continue up from here. Whether they give us the real numbers that is still a question.
I am glad that I was made redundant from the IT sector in 2019. I took the money and jumped, and I have a better life now working outdoors than I would be waiting for the AI hammer to drop on us.
AI will be the excuse until tokenization takes off and enshitifies the system. It’ll be a rough 3-5 years though.
Seems some companies have planned lay offs and using AI as an excuse. Our team got told to use ai to deal with lay offs and month later we got an email saying we’re using too many tokens 🤔 getting rid of our best people with product knowledge to rival companies and start ups cos csuits only look at numbers on a spreadsheet … Good job guys 👍

I call BS. I don’t think they’re really cutting jobs for AI. I think they’re using AI as an excuse to make cuts they already wanted to make without spooking Wall Street in any ways. “We’re utilizing AI to cut jobs, increase efficiency, and maximize returns” sounds a lot better than “we have some concerns about future growth and want to slash some jobs now to get ahead of it.” Seems like there’s plenary of evidence that AI has over promised a bit and currently costs more to run than the jobs it’s replacing. I know there have been studies that compared the number of jobs cut but companies that have publicly embraced AI and those that have taken more of a wait and see approach and there’s little to no statistical difference in the cut backs they’re making.
I’m not saying this won’t change in the future, but for now I think there’s just a huge amount of spin going on both from the AI companies and from the companies utilizing it.
Noooooo, AI remains the top REPORTED reason for laying off workers. It’s just an excuse to lay people off and hopefully rehire for less.
This is no AI.
AI is the symptom…GREED is the reason/cause . we have to stop letting the oligarchs frame this as an AI problem. Corporate greed, oligarch overreach and corruption are the causes.
Almost like the wealthy and the government are working together to make the middle, working, and lower classes a second class citizentry… But maybe that’s just conspiracy talk… Just feels that way.
Yeah but bring more kids to world because we are running out of humans to work.
The displacement is moving much faster than the retraining programs can actually scale. How many of these roles are being replaced by automation versus simple task-specific LLM integrations?
„I don’t understand why people don’t love ai. It must be them“
The jobs will be there but a fraction of what were traditionally available. Unless there is another sector that is capable of absorbing talent at scale, we are looking at years of stagflation.
Oooof the ai washing in this thread is wild
Everyone knows they cut jobs cause of the investments in ai
Anyone saying otherwise has investments they want saved
Ai is the silver excuse bullet for a CEO trying to buy themselves time. A) it helps mask the fact that they’re doing soo badly they need to lay people off B) it makes them sound forward thinking and smart if they can say it’s due to ai implementation
Bullshit. Those jobs are going to Columbia and Argentina
US is in a recession being masked by devaluation of the dollar and AI hysteria.
