CrowdStrike's announcement comes amid a wave of tech industry layoffs, many of which are similarly tied to AI integration and economic uncertainty. Earlier this year, Meta cut over 100 jobs in its Reality Labs division, aiming to streamline operations between its VR software and hardware teams. Intel also revealed plans to lay off more than 21,000 employees, around 20 percent of its workforce, as part of a major restructuring effort under its new leadership.
