The Great AI Layoff Boomerang. 55% of companies regret their AI-drven layoffs 3 months ago
Yeah - most of the layoffs were really just pointing to AI but it had nothing to do with it - it was all for a stock bump, which worked every time that I saw. Unfortunately its a short term gain and a bad look when people realize that's what it was. Outside of big tech companies that did this, I see most other companies very carefully dipping their toes in AI and not doing broad layoffs. At most, slower new hires.
