More tech job losses - Microsoft & Meta
9,000 Microsoft employees did everything right.
Top schools. FAANG resumes. $200K salaries.
Still got replaced by a line item in an AI budget.
Senior engineers. Directors. PMs with FAANG resumes and 15-year careers.
The memo called it “voluntary retirement.”
Nobody volunteered.
Here’s the part nobody’s saying out loud:
Microsoft is cutting humans to pay for AI.
The same people who built the company are now funding the technology that made them unnecessary.
No performance review saves you from a budget decision.
This is what the AI transition actually looks like.
Not robots. Just a reallocation of spend

Meta, tells its staff that it is laying off 10% of its employees in a push for "efficiency."
This is roughly ~8,000 employees who will be laid off.
The ongoing impact of AI.
