The ripple effects are visible across the industry. Intel is preparing for one of the deepest workforce reductions this year, with plans to cut 25,000 roles by the end of 2025. Meta has let go of around 3,600 employees, with CEO Mark Zuckerberg emphasizing "non-regrettable attrition." Google has executed several rounds of layoffs across Search, Ads, Engineering, and Marketing, as it doubles down on AI-first strategies. Amazon has been more cautious but still trimmed hundreds of jobs, particularly in AWS.
