The company revealed in a security filing that it will eliminate up to **400 positions**—nearly 25% of its global workforce—as part of a broader restructuring plan. ## The AI Shift CEO Dušan Šenkypl stated that the company "fell short of our expectations" last quarter, prompting the move to embrace AI. Groupon aims to "better deliver on our mission, serving both customers and merchants" by becoming AI-driven. The layoffs are expected to cost the company up to **$13 million** but will save over **$20 million annually**. ## Broader Industry Trends Since 2022, more than **800,000 tech workers** have been laid off, according to Layoffs.fyi. From January to April this year alone, U.S. tech employers announced **85,411 job cuts**—a **33% increase** from the same period last year. The surge, which began in 2023, reflects a correction after pandemic-era hiring sprees. ## The AI Divide Artificial intelligence is creating a **widening class divide** in Silicon Valley. While a tiny group of employees with AI skills land unprecedented compensation packages, many others struggle to find work. The "have-nots" are refreshing resumes, optimizing LinkedIn profiles, and doing interviews, but companies have become much more selective. Some are taking pay cuts, leaving tech, returning to study, launching startups, or even retiring. ## Market Reaction Groupon shares, which have fallen **27% over the last 12 months**, slipped 1% on the announcement to $21.20. This trend highlights the **growing impact of AI on employment**, as e-commerce companies automate roles to reduce costs. The competition for top AI talent is fierce, but for many tech workers, the job market has never been tougher.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>groupon</category> <category>layoffs</category> <category>ai</category> <category>techindustry</category> <category>jobmarket</category> <enclosure url="https://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/ee42af4/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1600x840+0+113/resize/1200x630!/quality/75/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fe0%2F79%2Fdc14bbdc4bfab950d7bfe92d9f06%2Fgettyimages-1242401546.jpg" length="0" type="image//dims4/default/ee42af4/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1600x840+0+113/resize/1200x630!/quality/75/"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Costco CEO: AI Isn't Stealing Jobs, It's Elevating Them – Here's How]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/costco-ceo-ai-isnt-stealing-jobs-its-elevating-them-heres-how</link> <guid>costco-ceo-ai-isnt-stealing-jobs-its-elevating-them-heres-how</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 19:15:21 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[As companies like Meta and Amazon use AI to justify headcount reductions, Costco is doubling down on $1.50 hot dogs and humans at the cash register. Costco CEO Ron Vachris argues that AI is not degrading jobs but **improving them**, allowing employees to move into more forward-thinking roles. ## Costco's AI Strategy: Support, Not Replace Costco has integrated AI across pharmacy, gas stations, accounting, and IT, but Vachris emphasizes that **AI is meant to support employees**, not replace them. He stated, "I don't see AI making choices on items for Costco... I don't know that we'll ever take that out of the hands of a skilled buyer." This approach has paid off financially, with Costco shares up 17% this year and a market cap exceeding $440 billion. ## The Real Threat: Losing Company Culture When asked about Costco's biggest threat, Vachris answered simply: "Us losing our way." The company remains committed to its **DEI initiatives** and has strong employee retention, with over 55% of U.S. employees staying for more than five years. Costco's success is rooted in its culture, not just technology. ## Other Leaders Share the Sentiment Delta CEO Ed Bastian and IBM CEO Arvind Krishna also advocate for using AI to **enhance human work**, not eliminate jobs. Bastian calls the term "artificial" a mistake, saying it scares people. Krishna emphasizes hiring entry-level workers, though IBM still faced layoffs as it shifts focus to AI. The key takeaway? AI can be a tool for **elevation, not elimination**, when businesses prioritize growth and culture.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>costco</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>jobdisplacement</category> <category>techleaders</category> <enclosure url="https://fortune.com/img-assets/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/GettyImages-1072209546-e1779981129924.jpg?resize=1200,600" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Is AI Really to Blame for the Tough Job Market Facing New College Grads?]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/is-ai-really-to-blame-for-the-tough-job-market-facing-new-college-grads</link> <guid>is-ai-really-to-blame-for-the-tough-job-market-facing-new-college-grads</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 28 May 2026 12:15:22 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Millions of young adults may face a jolt of reality this summer as they step off the college graduation stage and into the job market. The unemployment rate for recent college graduates is **5.6%**, notably higher than the overall rate of **4.2%**, according to New York Federal Reserve data. As recently as four years ago, the rates were nearly identical. Some tech leaders warn that AI could decimate low-level positions. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said AI could cut U.S. entry-level jobs in half by 2030. But analysts disagree about whether AI is the main culprit. ### The Case for AI's Impact A Stanford University study found that early-career workers (ages 22-25) in AI-vulnerable occupations like customer service and software development suffered a **16% decline in employment** relative to experienced workers. The decline appeared after ChatGPT's release in late 2022. Laura Ullrich of Indeed notes that the effects are sector-specific: a nursing degree leads to quick hiring in AI-immune healthcare, but a computer programming degree may lead to a long search. ### The Counterargument Some analysts point to a "low hire, low fire" labor market. The hiring rate is **3.5%** as of March, down from 4.4% four years ago. Jed Kolko of the Peterson Institute disputes the Stanford findings, calling the research "collectively inconclusive" due to inconsistent definitions of AI-vulnerable jobs. ### What's Next? Many graduates are still finding jobs, but the implications of AI will continue to draw scrutiny. As Ullrich says, "We don't know what the path forward will be."]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>jobmarket</category> <category>collegegraduates</category> <category>unemployment</category> <category>entry-leveljobs</category> <enclosure url="https://i.abcnewsfe.com/a/46ed3586-8244-4ae6-9686-afba02c3228c/graduation-gty-gmh-260527_1779894594889_hpMain_16x9.jpg?w=1600" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Ex-Snowflake CRO Reveals Why Top Engineers Are Avoiding This 'Glorified' AI Job]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ex-snowflake-cro-reveals-why-top-engineers-are-avoiding-this-glorified-ai-job</link> <guid>ex-snowflake-cro-reveals-why-top-engineers-are-avoiding-this-glorified-ai-job</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 27 May 2026 19:15:27 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## The Forward-Deployed Engineer: A Booming Role with a Catch The **forward-deployed engineer (FDE)** has become one of the most sought-after roles in the AI boom, with job postings surging over **5,000%** in the past year. But according to **Chris Degnan**, former Chief Revenue Officer at Snowflake, this role isn't as glamorous as it seems. ### What Is a Forward-Deployed Engineer? Popularized by Palantir, FDEs are engineers embedded within client companies, building and deploying technology on-site. As companies race to become "AI native," this model has exploded, with giants like **OpenAI** and **Google** creating entire organizations around FDEs. Stripe even posted a role for a "Forward Deployed AI Accelerator." ### The Reality Check Degnan, now an investor and advisor, shared his candid views on the "20VC" podcast. He called the FDE a **"glorified professional services person"** and warned that top engineers don't want this job. "If you're a really good engineer, you do not want to be a forward-deployed engineer," he said. "You want to work on the core product." ### The Risks of Technical Debt Degnan highlighted a critical flaw: FDEs often build products for a single client that may never return to the employer. This leaves the customer to maintain the technology, creating **significant technical debt**. "There's a lot of technical debt that forward-deployed engineers are going to leave, and there's a lot of risk," he added. ### The Bottom Line While the FDE role is booming, Degnan draws a hard line: "The forward-deployed engineer is not as good as the core engineer that's building the core product." For ambitious engineers, the core product remains the place to be.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>forward-deployedengineer</category> <category>aijobs</category> <category>techcareers</category> <category>technicaldebt</category> <category>snowflake</category> <enclosure url="https://i.insider.com/6a16f6c12e5a80cfe04ff158?width=1200&format=jpeg" length="0" type="image//6a16f6c12e5a80cfe04ff158"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Two Devs Built a $4M Side Hustle Without Quitting Their Jobs – Here’s How AI Made It Possible]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/two-devs-built-a-4m-side-hustle-without-quitting-their-jobs-heres-how-ai-made-it-possible</link> <guid>two-devs-built-a-4m-side-hustle-without-quitting-their-jobs-heres-how-ai-made-it-possible</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 23 May 2026 19:15:25 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Two software engineers, David Emelianov and Jordan Gaston, built an inbox cleaning app called Trimbox as a side hustle and sold it for $4 million – all while keeping their full-time tech jobs. Here’s how they used AI to juggle it all. ## The Idea In 2020, Jordan’s mom complained about cleaning her email inbox. That sparked the idea for a Chrome extension that adds an **unsubscribe button** to emails. Jordan built a demo, showed it to David (a childhood friend), and they decided to work together. They spent 3-4 months building the first version. ## The Pivot After posting on Reddit and getting traction, they took a break from May to September 2021. When they picked it back up, they **added subscriptions** and started running web ads. Realizing they were limited to desktop users, they built mobile apps for iOS and Android in 2023, which allowed them to run **Facebook and Instagram ads** – the last big push before focusing on growth. ## The Secret: AI-Powered Efficiency **Time management** was key. They only worked on features that would directly impact revenue. They used **AI to write code** – copying their web app files into ChatGPT and asking it to rewrite them in React Native for mobile. They never hired a UI designer; AI handled that too. They also **automated customer support** by training AI on their help center data. The AI handled most requests, only escalating to them when needed. This saved countless hours. ## Why They Didn’t Quit Their Day Jobs Both enjoyed their tech jobs and valued stability. David: “I don’t think it’s always the right trade-off to quit an awesome tech job with stability and a retirement plan for something like this.” They funded ads themselves, avoiding investors, and kept their side hustle to about **20 hours a week** (mostly weekends). ## The Sale With kids now, they wanted to capture value. They used AI to **simulate fair market value** and saved on legal fees by coming to lawyers with informed questions. The app was generating **$232,000 in monthly recurring revenue** when they sold it at the end of last year. ## What’s Next? Now they’re planning to build more apps, faster, with AI doing even more of the heavy lifting.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>sidehustle</category> <category>ai</category> <category>softwareengineering</category> <category>startup</category> <category>remotework</category> <enclosure url="https://i.insider.com/6a0f62e67ff506e273e66409?width=1200&format=jpeg" length="0" type="image//6a0f62e67ff506e273e66409"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Tech Layoffs Surge: Cisco, LinkedIn, Amazon Cut Thousands Amid AI Shift]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/tech-layoffs-surge-cisco-linkedin-amazon-cut-thousands-amid-ai-shift</link> <guid>tech-layoffs-surge-cisco-linkedin-amazon-cut-thousands-amid-ai-shift</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 18 May 2026 19:15:23 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Major tech companies continue to slash jobs as they pivot toward artificial intelligence. **Cisco** announced cutting **4,000 positions** (less than 5% of its workforce) despite record revenue of $15.8 billion. CEO Chuck Robbins stated the company is restructuring to focus on AI, saying: *"The companies that will win in the AI era will be those with focus, urgency, and the discipline to continuously shift investment."* **LinkedIn** is eliminating **875 jobs** (5% of its staff), not due to AI but to reorganize teams and focus on growing business areas. Revenue at LinkedIn grew 12% in the recent quarter. **Amazon** announced potential layoffs affecting **16,000 roles** in its Selling Partner Services team, following a regular review to align with goals. These cuts add to thousands of job losses industry-wide as tech companies invest heavily in AI infrastructure.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techlayoffs</category> <category>cisco</category> <category>linkedin</category> <category>amazon</category> <category>ai</category> <enclosure url="https://www.al.com/resizer/v2/WYYFQ7TH75B7TMOWJLIP4XSCNE.png?auth=bc19b7db920c64f8e522c30752b879be2f856148d6144028d7773b0b5cfa09e1&width=1280&smart=true&quality=90" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
