Talent & Organizations

The German publisher's first big move after finally buying the 170-year-old paper is a script it has already run twice before: cut staff, invoke AI, promise a global future.

The SEC filing never says "AI" — but executives told reporters afterward that the real plan is flattening management now so automation has less to trip over later.

Eight months after eBay said it was cutting jobs to "focus more on AI," it cut even deeper into engineering, product, and data science — and left AI out of the memo entirely.

The bank hired a Google engineering director to run a new 'agent factory' and reshuffled three executives around him, the latest shakeup since its first AI chief quit after six months.

The UK bank's CEO tied this year's workforce reduction directly to technology investment, a rare case of a major employer naming AI as the cause rather than a side effect of cost-cutting.

Days after Amazon's CFO told investors AI spending is paying off ahead of schedule, Jeff Bezos told a different story about the company's latest layoffs — one that doesn't mention AI at all.

The chipmaker won't say how many jobs it's cutting or where, even as it leans on a thin, contested pool of engineering talent to chase a data-center AI business that Wall Street still isn't convinced it can win.

Fifteen months after its first AI-driven restructuring, the Dutch mapping company is cutting again — and the third-quarter numbers it released alongside the news show why investors aren't buying the turnaround story.

Entry-level technical hires at Anthropic fell from 27% to 9% of new hires in 18 months, the company's own workforce report shows — a frontier AI lab quantifying, in public, the hollowing-out it's accused of causing everywhere else.
