This wave of layoffs is not just about cost-cutting but reflects a deeper strategic shift towards **AI-driven automation** and **long-term innovation**. ### Key Stats (as of May 2025): - **Total layoffs**: 61,300+ employees - **Companies involved**: 130+ - **Sectors affected**: Cloud computing, advertising, HR, devices, software engineering, sales ### Microsoft: Prioritizing Engineering Over Administration Microsoft has laid off **6,000 employees**, focusing on streamlining leadership and investing more in **engineering and product development**. The company aims to **reduce duplication of roles** and align teams with strategic priorities, particularly in **AI-powered enterprise solutions** and **cloud infrastructure**. ### Google: Silent Workforce Realignment Google has been quietly trimming its workforce, with **200 employees** laid off from its Global Business Organization in May alone. The company is shifting towards **automation and generative AI technologies**, especially in its lucrative **search and advertising** verticals. ### Amazon: Scaling Back on Experimental Divisions Amazon has cut around **100 jobs** in its Devices and Services division, including Alexa and Kindle teams. The company is reallocating resources to **AWS and Prime logistics**, focusing on **profitability** over innovation in consumer devices. ### CrowdStrike: Focusing on Profitability in Cybersecurity Even high-growth cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike isn't immune, laying off **5% of its workforce** to streamline operations and invest in **AI-based threat detection tools** and **international market expansion**. ### IBM: AI Replaces and Creates Jobs IBM has laid off several hundred employees in **HR and administrative roles** while hiring in **engineering, programming, and enterprise sales**. The company emphasizes **reskilling and upskilling** to adapt to an **AI-first strategy**. ### The 3 Core Reasons Behind the Layoffs: 1. **Macroeconomic volatility**: Global economic instability is forcing tech companies to cut costs. 2. **Post-pandemic growth corrections**: Companies are right-sizing after rapid pandemic-era hiring. 3. **The AI revolution**: Automation is reducing the need for certain roles, particularly in **coding, content creation, and customer service**. ### What It Means for the Future of Tech Work: - **Fewer administrative layers**, more direct reporting structures. - Higher demand for **AI literacy** across all roles. - Greater reliance on **contractors and fractional talent**. - Emphasis on **remote and flexible work** arrangements.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techlayoffs</category> <category>ai</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>microsoft</category> <category>google</category> <enclosure url="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-121360366,width-1070,height-580,imgsize-148498,resizemode-75,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-40/photo.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[The Future of Work: Gen Alpha's AI-Powered Careers That Don't Exist Yet]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/the-future-of-work-gen-alphas-ai-powered-careers-that-dont-exist-yet</link> <guid>the-future-of-work-gen-alphas-ai-powered-careers-that-dont-exist-yet</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 23 May 2025 19:15:20 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Amid fast technological and societal transformation, the careers awaiting Generation Alpha—those born between 2010 and 2025—are largely still conceptual. Around **two in three Gen Alphas will work in jobs that do not currently exist**, and from **AI co-designers to neuro-lens developers**, the job market they are projected to enter will be unlike any the world has ever seen. Shaila Rana, an IEEE senior member and professor of cybersecurity at Purdue University Global, framed this incoming socioeconomic reset bluntly. "The future is coming at us at an unprecedented speed and it's redefining and changing the jobs and roles that we have," Rana told *Newsweek*. Her words capture a generational shift. For Gen Alpha, many traditional professions may give way to emerging roles created in response to evolving digital, ecological, and social challenges and attitude changes. Several experts and futurists consulted by *Newsweek* believe that Gen Alpha's working lives will be shaped by the digital environments they grew up in, their **"AI fluency,"** and a world grappling with rapid innovation and existential threats. This matters not only for Gen Alpha as they come of age, but for policymakers, educators, and parents too. As the World Economic Forum's *The Future of Jobs and Skills* report estimated back in 2016, **65 percent of children entering primary school that year were expected to work in job types that did not yet exist**—and the experts consulted believe that many of them still do not. ### Algorithmic Ethics Architects Rana predicts that as artificial intelligence becomes increasingly embedded in society, ethical design will become a frontline concern, and a gateway to new job opportunities. "We may see **algorithmic ethics architects** emerging as an important job role," she said. These professionals would be tasked with auditing AI for bias and translating moral values into technical protocols—a critical need as algorithmic systems begin to influence hiring, healthcare, law enforcement, and public policy. Unlike today's ethics consultants, these roles would carry engineering-level authority, enabling them to actively intervene in system design. ### Synthetic Data Designers Privacy regulations are tightening globally. Rana foresees the rise of **synthetic data designers**, who will use statistical modeling to create artificial datasets that train AI without violating privacy. These professionals will blend technical expertise with ethical foresight to ensure AI systems learn from safe, simulated realities rather than real human data. ### Digital Ecosystem Mediators In a world where multiple AI platforms interact simultaneously, **digital ecosystem mediators** will ensure interoperability. "Professionals have to navigate the increasingly complex intersection of multiple AI systems," Rana added. These individuals will act as translators, facilitators, and harmonizers of competing algorithms. ### AI-Creative Hybrids Reza Rooholamini, chief science, AI, and innovation officer at CCC Intelligent Solutions, Inc., also envisions a future of immersive technologies. "Gen Alpha will be **AI-native**," Rooholamini told *Newsweek*. "They would be able to program systems via voice or AR/VR glasses. "I suspect the Gen Alpha would more attuned to AI, similar to how Gen Z was more attuned to mobile devices, and we should expect to see more **creative-tech hybrid roles**, sustainability-focused jobs, and digital health or extended reality (XR) related careers." He expects the growth of jobs like **robotics AI engineer** and **robotics swarm engineer**, as well as roles involving AI system sustainability, such as **energy-efficient AI system designers** and **quantum-AI infrastructure planners**. Creativity will not be sidelined. Rooholamini highlighted roles like **immersive experience creators** using models like OpenAI's Sora to produce full-length movies in as long as it takes to edit a TikTok video. Other jobs may focus on crafting personalized health solutions through AR/VR and building blockchain-based financial systems. "Creative AI design professionals might use OpenAI Sora type model to build movies in hours rather than months or years," he added. ### Longevity Lifestyle Coaches Matt Britton, CEO of Suzy and a leading AI and consumer trend expert advising Fortune 500 brands, sees health as a frontier for job creation. "Advances in biotechnology and AI-driven health tools will create a new breed of wellness coach—someone who uses personalized data and predictive models to extend both healthspan and lifespan," Britton told *Newsweek*. These **longevity lifestyle coaches** will be part health expert, part data scientist, and part life strategist, and they will likely use social media to their advantage in building lucrative online communities, following in the footsteps of many adults today. They will interpret biometric data, guide nutrition, meditative practices and sleep optimization, and help individuals achieve longer, more productive lives in line with society's growing interest in biohacking, subconscious mind reprogramming and general healthy living. ### The Rise of Reputation Capital For Dimple Thakkar, founder of SYNHERGY, Gen Alpha's future is not merely about new jobs—it's about entirely new career philosophies. "The system has cracked. The elevator is broken. So Gen Alpha? They'll trade diplomas for **reputation capital**," Thakkar told *Newsweek*. Thakkar predicts that a digital portfolio—comprising YouTube tutorials, Discord bots, and community apps—will come to carry much more weight than a traditional CV. "They'll use AI like we use calculators," the award-winning CEO said. "Work isn't what you do—it'll be who you impact." She outlined several roles likely to emerge: - **Prompt Architect** - **Synthetic Personality Stylist** - **AI Bias Auditor** - **Virtual Companion Developer** - **Digital/Archive Resurrection Specialist** - **Civic Trust Engineer** - **Urban Sentience Designer** - **NeuroLens Interface Specialist** ### Training the Machines Kathleen deLaski, author of *Who Needs College, Anymore?* and founder of the Education Design Lab, highlighted a suite of AI management roles tailored for Gen Alpha's skills. Among them were **information architects**, **bot curators** and **fake news scouts**. She said that each of these roles will require high levels of **digital literacy and critical thinking**—skills not just taught in schools, but earned through early and deep engagement with intelligent systems. ### Designing the New Human-Tech Interface Dr. Ja-Naé Duane, a behavioral scientist and faculty member at Brown University, emphasized that the real asset Gen Alpha will bring to the job market is their adaptability. "What will matter most are the skills they develop: complex problem-solving, **collaboration with intelligent systems**, and ethical reasoning," she told *Newsweek*. Her vision includes roles such as: - **AI Behavior Designer** - **Synthetic Biology Programmer** - **Metaverse Experience Curator** - **AI Influencer Architect** - **Decentralized Governance Facilitator** - **Climate Adaptation Analyst** - **Robot Rights Advocate** - **Neuro-Interface Technician** - **Personal Data Broker** - **Digital Legacy Designer** Each role reflects not just technological sophistication but also a fundamental shift in values—towards sustainability, identity, and resilience. ### The Educational Edge Gen Alpha's preparation for this future will not just depend on adaptability—it will also rest on education. McCrindle Research found that this cohort will have unprecedented access to information and formal education, with an estimated **one in two predicted to obtain a university degree**, compared with the rising trend among Gen Z that college is a waste of time. Their digital fluency and exposure to AI from a young age may place them in a unique position to design, not just participate in, the future of work—but things might just be even simpler than that. With changing attitudes around flexible work, digital nomad careers and alternating career paths now popularized among Gen Z, Gen Alpha might not want to work—at least in the traditional concept of the term—at all. "Want a bolder prediction? In 20 years, 'job' might be a dated concept," Thakkar said. "Instead, people may talk in terms of missions, reputations, or ecosystems. No job security? Good. That's freedom."]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>genalpha</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>ai</category> <category>careertrends</category> <category>innovation</category> <enclosure url="https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/2650804/robotics-engineer-work.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Workday Under Fire: Lawsuit Claims AI Hiring Tech Discriminates Against Over-40 Job Seekers]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/workday-under-fire-lawsuit-claims-ai-hiring-tech-discriminates-against-over-40-job-seekers</link> <guid>workday-under-fire-lawsuit-claims-ai-hiring-tech-discriminates-against-over-40-job-seekers</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 22 May 2025 12:15:19 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## Workday’s Hiring Tech Faces Discrimination Lawsuit Tech firm **Workday** is embroiled in a **collective action lawsuit** alleging its **job applicant screening technology** discriminates against individuals over 40, following a California district judge's preliminary order. This case could set a **precedent** for the use of **algorithms and AI** in hiring decisions. ### The Allegations - **Derek Mobley**, along with four other plaintiffs, claims Workday’s algorithms caused him to be rejected from over 100 jobs due to his **age, race, and disabilities**. - Plaintiffs allege **hundreds of job applications** were rejected, sometimes within minutes, blaming Workday’s algorithm for **disproportionately disqualifying** individuals over 40. ### The Broader Implications - **AI hiring tools** are increasingly used to manage applications, but experts warn they can **exacerbate discrimination** based on age, gender, or race. - A 2018 case saw **Amazon** scrap an automated ranking tool for favoring male applicants. ### Workday’s Response Workday denies the claims, stating the order is based on **allegations, not evidence**, and believes the case lacks merit. ### The Technology in Question - Workday’s **HiredScore AI** claims to use **"responsible AI"** to grade candidates, but plaintiffs argue it **reinforces existing biases**. - **Algorithmic decision-making** can inadvertently favor certain demographics if trained on biased data, as seen in cases where **"baseball"** was favored over **"softball"** in resumes. ### What’s Next? The lawsuit seeks **monetary damages** and a court order for Workday to **change its practices**, with the potential for more claimants to join.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>hiring</category> <category>discrimination</category> <category>workday</category> <category>lawsuit</category> <enclosure url="https://images.wral.com/presentation/v3/images/content/social/open_graph/wralnews_1920x1080.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Walmart's Strategic Shift: 1,500 Jobs Cut to Fuel Innovation and Agility]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/walmarts-strategic-shift-1-500-jobs-cut-to-fuel-innovation-and-agility</link> <guid>walmarts-strategic-shift-1-500-jobs-cut-to-fuel-innovation-and-agility</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 22 May 2025 19:15:20 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Most of the layoffs at Walmart's U.S. retail operations will affect the end-to-end operations teams and the Walmart Connect marketing organization.* ### Looking Ahead Walmart's leadership, including **Global CTO and Chief Development Officer Suresh Kumar** and **Walmart U.S. President and CEO John Furner**, has assured that they are working closely with affected associates to explore other opportunities within the company.

By combining human insight, expert review, and generative AI models, we’ve created a replicable method that helps countries assess risk and respond with precision," said Pawel Gmyrek, ILO senior researcher. ### How AI is Changing Jobs Globally, about **one in four people** have jobs with generative AI exposure, meaning their tasks could potentially be performed by AI. The study found a stark contrast in risk between genders: **9.6% of female employment** is in high-risk jobs, compared to just **3.5% of male employment**. **Administrative tasks**, common in clerical jobs, are at the highest risk, followed by roles in **media, software, and finance**. ### The Future of Work The report suggests that **AI is more likely to augment human roles rather than replace them entirely**. Governments and worker organizations will play a crucial role in managing AI's impact. > "This index helps identify where GenAI is likely to have the biggest impact, so countries can better prepare and protect workers," said Marek Troszyński, a senior expert at NASK. ### The Gender Gap Worsens A 2025 report from the [World Economic Forum and LinkedIn](https://www.weforum.org/publications/gender-parity-in-the-intelligent-age-2025/) found that **AI is exacerbating the gender gap**. Women are less likely to be in roles augmented by AI and more likely to be in those disrupted by it. Currently, **33.7% of women** work in disrupted occupations, compared to **25.5% of men**.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>automation</category> <category>gender</category> <category>workforce</category> <category>tech</category> <enclosure url="https://images.fastcompany.com/image/upload/f_webp,q_auto,c_fit/wp-cms-2/2025/05/p-1-91337875-ai-advances-may-threaten-womens-jobs-more-than-mens.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Nike Slashes Tech Jobs Amid Major Restructuring: What It Means for the IT Sector]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/nike-slashes-tech-jobs-amid-major-restructuring-what-it-means-for-the-it-sector</link> <guid>nike-slashes-tech-jobs-amid-major-restructuring-what-it-means-for-the-it-sector</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 20 May 2025 12:15:17 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[**Nike**, America's premier athletic footwear and apparel giant, is making headlines with its decision to **cut jobs within its technology division**. This move is part of a larger **restructuring strategy** spearheaded by CEO **Elliott Hill**, who stepped into the role in October 2024. The company has confirmed the layoffs but remains tight-lipped about the exact number of employees affected. ### The Big Shift: Outsourcing Tech Roles In a strategic pivot, Nike plans to **outsource certain technology-related functions** to third-party vendors. This decision underscores a growing trend among corporations to streamline operations and focus on core competencies. A Nike spokesperson elaborated, stating the company's intention to **hire external vendors** for tech-related tasks, though specifics regarding the scale of outsourcing remain undisclosed. ### Behind the Restructuring Under Hill's leadership, Nike is undergoing significant **operational and leadership changes**. The CEO's vision aims to **reinvigorate consumer interest** and **foster innovation** amidst stiff competition in the athletic wear market. These job cuts coincide with Nike's **declining revenue projections**, particularly a sharper-than-expected drop in the fourth quarter, signaling a pressing need for operational efficiency. ### The Broader Impact Nike's restructuring reflects the **volatile nature of the tech job market**, especially within large corporations navigating post-pandemic economic realities. As Nike seeks to **reconnect with evolving consumer demands**, the implications of such layoffs extend beyond the company, hinting at broader shifts in the **tech and retail sectors**.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>nike</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>restructuring</category> <category>outsourcing</category> <category>corporatestrategy</category> <enclosure url="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-121287116,width-1070,height-580,imgsize-24586,resizemode-75,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-40/photo.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Deloitte's Massive Tech Expansion: 500 New Jobs Coming to Belfast!]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/deloittes-massive-tech-expansion-500-new-jobs-coming-to-belfast</link> <guid>deloittes-massive-tech-expansion-500-new-jobs-coming-to-belfast</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 19 May 2025 12:15:33 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[**Deloitte**, one of the "big four" accountancy firms, is set to create **500 new technology jobs** in **Belfast** over the next three years.
