The tech layoff wave is still kicking. According to Layoffs.fyi, we have seen over 22,000 job cuts in 2025 so far, with a big spike in February. The common theme across most of these is pivoting to AI and cutting costs for efficiency. Some of the notable cuts mentioned: * **Amazon** is cutting about 14,000 corporate roles. * **Intel** plans to cut 15-20% of its Foundry division. * **Fiverr** is cutting 30% of its staff to become "AI-focused". * **Block** cut about 8% of its workforce. * **Rivian** is cutting staff amid cooling EV demand and expiring tax credits. * **Meta**, **Google**, **Salesforce**, and **Peloton** are also shedding jobs. Seems like the focus on margins and automation isn't going away anytime soon.
