Meta just cut 600 roles in its AI division. Amazon dropped 14,000. Chegg slashed nearly half its workforce. In total, more than 98,000 tech jobs have vanished in 2025 — all in the shadow of AI transformation. But here’s the truth: this isn’t the end of opportunity — it’s the start of reinvention.
In this episode of AI and Your Next Job, Brian C. Newman breaks down how to turn layoffs into launchpads. You’ll learn:
- What’s really driving recent AI layoffs — and why most companies are rebalancing, not collapsing
- The three tiers of AI skills every job seeker needs to rebuild stronger
- How to combine your existing expertise with AI fluency for faster career recovery
- Which myths about AI and job loss are holding people back
- A practical, step-by-step roadmap to move from fear to forward momentum
Layoffs sting — but they don’t define you. AI is redistributing opportunity, not erasing it. The winners are those who learn fast, adapt fast, and lead with confidence.
🎧 Listen now to turn your setback into a comeback.
