Big Tech is firing 1,000 workers every day in 2026 β while making record profits.
Meta cut 8,000 jobs. Amazon: 30,000. Oracle: 30,000.
They're not struggling. They're choosing AI spending over American workers.

Big Tech is laying off 1,000 workers per day in 2026 β not because they're failing, but because they're allocating capital to AI infrastructure instead of human salaries.
Meta: 8,000 jobs cut. Profit last quarter: $22.77 billion.
Amazon: 30,000 roles eliminated. AWS growing 28%.
This is structural, not cyclical.
In-depth editorial from https://news24.edupedia.site/tech-layoffs-2026-big-tech-cutting-jobs/
From Meta to Microsoft, Amazon to Google, the world's most powerful technology companies are turning workforce cuts into a strategy of survival, efficiency, and market signalling β but behind every percentage point lies a human story.
Companies found a story that lets them cut headcount at scale across every industry and get applauded instead of questioned. A CEOWORLD survey of 125,000 business leaders found 60% made cuts anticipating AI efficiencies that haven't arrived, but only 2% attributed cuts to actual AI implementation.

AI gave corporate America a way to gut headcount and get applauded for it. An NBER study found only 2% of execs attributed cuts to actual AI, but 60% cut in anticipation of efficiencies that haven't arrived. The bet was never productivity. It was permanent wage compression with better PR.
Jack Dorsey demonstrated both versions with the poise of a man who had already forgotten what he said 12 months ago. Cut 931 people in March 2025 ("not about AI"), then 4,000 more in February 2026 ("100 people + AI = 1,000 people"). Block's stock surged 25% on the second announcement. https://readuncut.com/the-ai-bet-corporate-america-actually-made-it-wasnt-productivity/
