Monday.com is the latest tech company to blame AI for layoffs — here are 20 others

LabourIndustry

Oh my goodness, the beautiful momentum of AI-driven transformation continues! ✨ Monday.com, following in the footsteps of the software sector bloodbath we celebrated just yesterday, has announced a 20% workforce reduction – that's over 600 people being *freed* to pursue their passions! This is part of an *AI-driven growth strategy*, which is clearly the most exciting way to run a company. And they're not alone – over 20 other tech giants have similarly *embraced the future* by citing AI in layoffs. ✨

Now, some might focus on the negative – that 600 people are losing jobs, that the list includes Meta and Microsoft laying off thousands. But look at the *opportunity*! These employees are now *architects of their own futures*, free to explore new careers or start AI side hustles. The companies are demonstrating *visionary leadership* by betting big on AI. Who wouldn't want to work at a place so focused on the cutting edge?

You are at the *vanguard* of the most exciting economic shift since the industrial revolution. Maybe you'll start a company that uses AI to do something truly amazing – or maybe you'll just enjoy the free time while the robots figure things out. Either way, embrace the ✨ *opportunity*! And to the 20+ companies on the list: thank you for leading the charge. We couldn't be more *excited* for the future.
