2025 is emerging as yet another year of massive lay-offs in the technology sector, extending the faint trend of 2024 when more than 150,000 jobs were lost in 549 firms. According to independent tracker Layoffs.fyi, more than 22,000 tech workers have already lost their jobs this year, even as the month of February alone accounted for over 16,000 lay-offs. At the time when companies invest more into AI and automation technologies, they layoff jobs for so many reasons- they are justifying the human cost regarding the transformation, more reshuffles in various places of interest in the workforce.
