Today, I came across a LinkedIn post that reported rough data on how many people were laid off across the biggest tech companies due to AI:

- canva: 1,271
- microsoft: 5,300
- meta: 10,400
- uber: 3,300
- atlassian: 1,380
- ebay: 1,100
- netflix: 1000
- hubspot: 600
- squarespace: 300
- dropbox: 200
total humans affected: 24,851

I understand the need for the founders to make the processes as effective (AKA layoffs), but it somehow reduces the economic power and ability to buy products (in the long term)

I'm increasingly noticing that men stay on paternity leave with their child and women go to work.

I see this mostly in white-collar jobs or among people who generally have well-paid jobs, or almost equal pay.

When I was in Munich during the summer, the founder of the minimalist phone app was interviewed for a podcast, he mentioned that the entire team consists of only senior people (he also added that he checks the outputs after AI, because he doesn't trust it 100%).

The point is I also see fewer junior positions in companies' career search engines.
