America is being hollowed out with no plans to address its effects on the poor and working class, apart from cutting the social safety net. This is happening in a time when it’s been criminalized to be homeless in the US and, if you’re scooped up, you can be forced legally to perform prison labor.
I don’t understand anyone who is actively patriotic in this country.
When the bubble bursts there will be so many more. This MFr is so bad at his job, like multiple incredibly expensive disaster failures of projects for which anyone else would have been fired a long time ago. This is just the next in succession. And yet he owns majority stock, so can’t be fired. Capitalism is dumb.
They really try to make zuck look like a human nowadays
US tech sector could easily shed double that number as long as it is middle managers and worthless PM types getting fired.
Hollowing out actual engineers, devs, and people who know how shit works in favor of “AI gains” and offshore outsourcing is like removing the engine from you car “for the weight savings”.
The autist in me is asking why they couldn’t have spared 197 jobs.
Apparently they are also hiring back some of them.
29% of firms have already rehired for AI-cut roles, while 55% of executives regret replacing workers with AI. From Big Tech to fast food, the AI revolution promised efficiency—instead, it delivered a costly lesson in human judgment.
But often they’ll rehire for a lower salary or hire offshore.
are they actually rehiring? the same people and not just indians, south americans, eastern europeans.
Are those not people?
US tech industry cut 123,653 jobs since January 2026, up 66% from last year during the same period — AI now the most cited
reasonexcuse for cuts by US employers: reportThere’s an irony to Zuckerberg’s and the rest of the oligarchs’ fevered delusions about AI, and it would be pithy if it weren’t so tedious:
They wanted to discard their need for other humans, and all they discarded was their own humanity.
zuckerberg is too busy planting AI surveillance into the creep glasses.
