We Didn’t Lose the Jobs. We Rebuilt the Org.
There’s a BIG shift happening inside some of the world’s most powerful companies.
Not a wave of layoffs.Although, yes, they are happening. Not a post-pandemic reset. I know everyone wants to still blame over hiring… nah we are over that for the most part. This is something you want to see if you’re only tracking headcount.

The companies? You already know them. These will have an epic cataclysmic effect on each of their industries as these reorgs keep happening. This will include offshoring of jobs, consolidation of jobs, and movement of job functions to vendors instead.
Keep reading to see who made the list and who are pushing for even more AI reorgs.
