"On 13 October 2023, six days after the #Hamas attack on Israeli settlements and bases around Gaza, Israel ordered the evacuation of #Gaza City, sending Palestinians in northern Gaza towards the southern border with Egypt.

If your company actually became vastly more productive, because of "AI" or whatever, you wouldn't lay off people: you would take on new efforts, make higher profits, have more things going on.
Layoffs are always - always - a sign of bad decisions, misallocation of priorities. Gross mismanagement. Always.
