According to Spiceworks, the IT management sector is projected to add over 100,000 new positions in the next decade, even as traditional entry-level roles continue to decline sharply. This shift represents a fundamental restructuring of how technology organizations staff their operations and develop talent. **Automation Eliminates the Bottom Rung** The decline of entry-level IT positions is largely due to advances in automation and artificial intelligence, which have made many traditional first-job functions obsolete. Tasks like password resets, basic troubleshooting, software installations, and routine system monitoring are now handled by sophisticated chatbots, automated ticketing systems, and self-service portals. Companies have found that investing in robust automation infrastructure costs significantly less than maintaining teams of junior technicians. The rise of low-code and no-code platforms has further compressed the entry-level market. Business users can now build basic applications, create automated workflows, and manage simple integrations without writing code. This democratization of technology eliminates the need for junior developers who previously handled these straightforward tasks. **The Strategic Elevation of IT Leadership** While automation claims entry-level jobs, it simultaneously elevates the importance of IT management. As technology becomes more central to business strategy, companies need leaders who can navigate complex digital transformations, manage vendor relationships, oversee cybersecurity initiatives, and align technology investments with business objectives. The Spiceworks analysis indicates that IT management roles now command premium compensation packages, with many positions offering salaries exceeding $150,000 annually. Today’s technology leaders must understand data governance, regulatory compliance, cloud architecture, artificial intelligence ethics, and business process optimization. They serve as translators between technical teams and executive leadership, articulating how technology investments drive revenue growth and create competitive advantages. **The Skills Gap Widens Into a Chasm** The simultaneous contraction of entry-level positions and expansion of management roles creates a troubling paradox: how do professionals gain the experience necessary to qualify for leadership positions when traditional career progression paths no longer exist? This has sparked intense debate within the technology industry about talent development and career pathways. Some organizations have responded by creating accelerated leadership development programs that compress years of traditional career progression into intensive 18-to-24-month rotations. However, critics argue that these fast-track programs produce leaders who lack the deep technical understanding that comes from years of hands-on work. **The Gig Economy as Training Ground** As traditional entry-level positions disappear, many aspiring IT professionals are turning to freelance work, contract positions, and project-based engagements to build experience. Platforms connecting businesses with technical talent have proliferated, offering opportunities for individuals to develop skills and build portfolios outside traditional employment structures. However, this gig-based approach comes with significant drawbacks. Freelancers lack structured mentorship, comprehensive benefits, and career advancement opportunities. They must navigate complex tax situations, manage irregular income streams, and continuously market their services while developing technical skills. **Educational Institutions Struggle to Adapt** Universities and technical colleges are uncertain how to prepare students for a job market where entry-level positions are scarce but management opportunities abound. Traditional computer science curricula emphasize programming fundamentals and system architecture—skills that remain important but may not directly lead to immediate employment. Forward-thinking institutions are incorporating business strategy, project management, and leadership development into their technology programs. Professional certification programs have emerged as alternatives to traditional degrees, offering focused training in specific technologies or management frameworks. **The Outsourcing Factor** Global labor arbitrage continues to pressure entry-level IT employment in developed economies. Tasks that cannot be fully automated are frequently outsourced to lower-cost regions, where talented professionals perform the same work for a fraction of domestic salaries. This trend particularly affects entry-level positions, which involve routine tasks that can be easily standardized and performed remotely. Management positions, by contrast, typically require proximity to business operations, deep understanding of organizational culture, and relationships with executive leadership—factors that make them less suitable for offshore outsourcing. **Reimagining Career Development** The transformation of IT employment patterns demands new approaches to career development and talent cultivation. Some organizations are experimenting with apprenticeship models that combine formal education with paid work experience, allowing individuals to earn while they learn and providing employers with a pipeline of talent. Professional associations and industry groups are developing frameworks for alternative career pathways that acknowledge the changing employment environment. These initiatives focus on helping technology professionals build portfolios of skills and experiences that demonstrate readiness for leadership roles. **The Future of IT Work** Looking ahead, the divergence between entry-level decline and management growth appears likely to intensify. Continued advances in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation will claim additional routine tasks, further reducing demand for junior-level human workers. Simultaneously, the increasing complexity of technology ecosystems and growing importance of data-driven decision-making will drive demand for sophisticated leadership. This evolution raises fundamental questions about the sustainability of the technology sector’s talent pipeline. If entry-level positions continue disappearing, where will tomorrow’s IT leaders gain the foundational experience that informs effective management? How will the industry ensure diversity and inclusion when traditional pathways for entering the field no longer exist?]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>itjobs</category> <category>automation</category> <category>careerdevelopment</category> <category>techindustry</category> <category>management</category> <enclosure url="https://www.webpronews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/article-8900-1769946312.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Why Your Job Search Is Taking Forever: The Hidden Truth Behind Today's Hiring Delays]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/why-your-job-search-is-taking-forever-the-hidden-truth-behind-todays-hiring-delays</link> <guid>why-your-job-search-is-taking-forever-the-hidden-truth-behind-todays-hiring-delays</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 13:15:23 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *It's easier to apply for a job, but not so easy to land one. (MementoJpeg/Getty Images)* Cory Stahle, an economist at the Indeed Hiring Lab, said the job market is in limbo as unemployment inches up, job postings are around pre-pandemic levels, and year-over-year growth in advertised wages on the job-search platform has cooled to over a five-year low. More people are job searching than there are openings. People waiting for a dream role may have to settle or shift their perspective. **"Longer hiring times, paired with muted overall hiring activity, suggest that finding a job may prove difficult for many job seekers in 2026," Stahle said.** ## Employers Are Taking Their Time in Filling Jobs Stahle said macroeconomic conditions affect how long it takes to hire. Uncertainty, less urgency than in the pandemic recovery and Great Resignation years, and a qualifications mismatch could be why it's taking longer. Stahle said many people voluntarily quit their roles in 2021 and 2022, likely leading employers to create job postings to backfill those gigs. The quits rate dropped from 3% in March 2022 to 2% this past November, suggesting workers are less confident about finding something new. When employers aren't desperate to fill a spot, hiring decisions could take longer. Stahle said employers can "wait for the 'perfect' candidate" when they're looking to expand their head count, rather than just backfill. The average time it takes for a posting to become a hire climbed to 49 days in August, the highest since early 2019. Stahle said the rise in the spring and summer could've been due to continued uncertainty, such as with trade policies. "Some of that uncertainty has waned since, but hiring timelines remain longer than they were at the start of 2025," he added. While employers can wait for their dream employee, job seekers might not have time to find their ideal role. **"Any offer is much harder to come by in this environment versus a couple of years ago, when there was a lot more power in the hands of the worker," Nicole Bachaud, an economist at ZipRecruiter, said.** ## It's Taking About Two Months for Tech Postings to Become a Hire Indeed's data showed the average time for a posting to turn into a hire varies by job group, but it's taking longer than it did a few years ago across the board. For tech occupations, the three-month moving average has increased from 42 days in March 2021 to about 57 days this past November. For food and beverage jobs, the average number of days surged in 2025, from about a month to about 51 days in September and October. Healthcare has been prominent in job market data because of its job growth. Indeed's data showed healthcare postings are taking longer to become a hire than a few years ago. These gigs can require specific skills and education, which Stahle said could make it harder for employers to find what they're looking for and employees to get hired. Meanwhile, Stahle said there could be more applicants than jobs actually being filled for occupations with weak hiring. "In that case, it's reasonable to assume that time-to-hire may increase further as employers take more time to weed through a larger pool of candidates and may feel like they can take their time in the process," he said. ## What to Do If You're Looking to Get a Job Stahle doesn't see the cooling job market stopping soon, given economic uncertainty. Unemployed job seekers may need to take a role that doesn't cater to all their ambitions. **"A job with lower pay is better than no job with no pay," Bachaud said. "We're seeing a lot of drive from necessity."** That doesn't mean you have to take a job you hate. Bachaud said to find a job where you think you would be comfortable with the day-to-day routine and who you work with. "There still are opportunities to find places that offer meaningful work and offer consistent and good work-life balance and benefits, and those things that workers are really driven toward," Bachaud said. Talking to your network or developing one can be helpful when many people are trying to get hired. Lisa Simon, the chief economist at Revelio Labs, said to lean on connections like a referral since so many people will tailor their application materials to the job posting, with or without the help of AI. **"The thing that is going to get you to the front of the line when jobs are scarce is interpersonal relationships with people who are willing to go above and beyond and expend political capital to help you," communication coach Dorie Clark previously told Business Insider.**]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>jobsearch</category> <category>hiring</category> <category>career</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>employment</category> <enclosure url="https://i.insider.com/69769215d3c7faef0ecce3bd?width=1200&format=jpeg" length="0" type="image//69769215d3c7faef0ecce3bd"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Tech Job Security Myth Shattered: Why Even Coveted Tech Roles Are No Longer Safe]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/tech-job-security-myth-shattered-why-even-coveted-tech-roles-are-no-longer-safe</link> <guid>tech-job-security-myth-shattered-why-even-coveted-tech-roles-are-no-longer-safe</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 20:15:22 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## The Changing Landscape of Tech Employment Tech workers continue to lose their jobs in droves, even as the broader economy shows positive signs. This trend reveals a significant shift in the technology industry's employment stability. **Justin Kirkwood's story** illustrates this new reality. After years working as a recruiter, Kirkwood successfully transitioned into the tech industry, eventually becoming a technical project manager for a vendor inside Meta's Seattle campus. He had clawed his way into the industry with just an associate's degree, achieving what many consider the dream: working with some of the brightest minds in technology in a role he believed was secure. ## The Vulnerability of Tech Positions Kirkwood's experience highlights how **even coveted tech roles** that once seemed immune to economic fluctuations are now facing unprecedented uncertainty. The perception of tech jobs as inherently stable and recession-proof has been fundamentally challenged by recent industry trends. ## Industry-Wide Implications This phenomenon isn't isolated to individual companies or specific roles. The **mass layoffs** occurring across the technology sector suggest structural changes in how tech companies approach workforce management and cost optimization. Even as other economic indicators improve, the tech industry continues to shed positions at an alarming rate. ## The New Reality for Tech Professionals The traditional career path in technology - once viewed as a straight line upward with increasing security - has become much more precarious. Professionals who worked hard to enter the industry, often overcoming educational or experiential barriers, now face the same employment uncertainties that have long affected other sectors. ## Looking Forward This shift requires tech workers to reconsider their approach to career development, skill acquisition, and job security. The assumption that a tech role automatically provides long-term stability no longer holds true in today's rapidly evolving employment landscape.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techjobs</category> <category>layoffs</category> <category>career</category> <category>industry</category> <category>employment</category> <enclosure url="https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-apps/imrs.php?src=https://arc-anglerfish-washpost-prod-washpost.s3.amazonaws.com/public/WKZPB7AP4VHBZOMQCTDHAPNKIM.jpg&w=1440" length="0" type="image/php"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Job Apocalypse? Anthropic CEO Warns of 'Unusually Painful' Disruption Ahead]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-job-apocalypse-anthropic-ceo-warns-of-unusually-painful-disruption-ahead</link> <guid>ai-job-apocalypse-anthropic-ceo-warns-of-unusually-painful-disruption-ahead</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 27 Jan 2026 20:15:13 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 04: Anthropic Co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei speaks at the "How AI Will Transform Business in the Next 18 Months" panel during INBOUND 2025 Powered by HubSpot at Moscone Center on September 04, 2025. (Photo by Chance Yeh/Getty Images for HubSpot)* ### Why This Time Is Different Amodei argues that **AI's cognitive breadth** makes this technological shift fundamentally different from previous revolutions. Unlike innovations that affected specific industries, AI acts as a **"general labor substitute for humans"** that can simultaneously impact finance, consulting, law, tech, and other white-collar professions. "The pace of progress in AI is much faster than for previous technological revolutions," Amodei wrote in a recent 20,000-word essay. "It is hard for people to adapt to this pace of change, both to the changes in how a given job works and in the need to switch to new jobs." ### The Short-Term Shock Amodei predicts humans will struggle to adapt to AI's rapid development, creating an **unusually painful short-term shock** in the labor market. Workers won't have the option to "switch lanes" to other industries where their skills remain valuable, as AI's impact will be too widespread. This concern comes after Amodei warned last year that AI could destroy **half of all white-collar jobs**, sparking debate among tech leaders including Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, who responded that Amodei "thinks AI is so scary, but only [Anthropic] should do it." ### The Data Behind the Warning Recent studies support concerns about AI's labor market impact: - **55,000 layoffs** in the U.S. in 2025 were attributed to AI - MIT research found AI can already do the job of **11.7% of the U.S. labor market**, potentially saving $1.2 trillion in wages - Mercer's Global Talent Trends 2026 report shows **40% of employees** fear losing their jobs to AI, up from 28% in 2024  *President and CEO of NVIDIA, Jensen Huang attends the 56th annual World Economic Forum (WEF) meeting in Davos, Switzerland, January 21, 2026.* ### The Counterargument: Job Creation Not all tech leaders share Amodei's pessimistic outlook. Nvidia's Jensen Huang argues AI will **"create a lot of jobs"** in blue-collar industries like plumbing, electrical work, construction, and AI factory building, potentially leading to six-figure salaries for skilled tradespeople. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has suggested governments need to provide **incentives for retraining** and income assistance as AI transforms certain job categories. ### The Regulatory Solution Amodei believes addressing AI's labor market disruption will **"require government intervention,"** including progressive taxation targeting AI firms specifically. He warns that without proper safeguards, AI could lead to broader societal risks including autonomous unpredictable systems, bio-weapon creation by bad actors, and potential global totalitarian dictatorships exploiting AI for disproportionate power. "Humanity is about to be handed almost unimaginable power," Amodei wrote, "and it is deeply unclear whether our social, political, and technological systems possess the maturity to wield it."]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>jobs</category> <category>disruption</category> <category>automation</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <enclosure url="https://image.cnbcfm.com/api/v1/image/108257482-1769516882258-gettyimages-2235057548-yeh_8167_n0lplzwh_xmzisqlh_vtemfgh3.jpeg?v=1769516887&w=1920&h=1080" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[San Francisco's Tech Job Crisis: A Painful Year for the City's Economic Backbone]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/san-franciscos-tech-job-crisis-a-painful-year-for-the-citys-economic-backbone</link> <guid>san-franciscos-tech-job-crisis-a-painful-year-for-the-citys-economic-backbone</guid> <pubDate>Sat, 24 Jan 2026 20:15:20 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[San Francisco experienced a significant downturn in its tech sector in 2025, with the city losing 4,400 jobs overall.

Photo by Dan Renzetti* ### Why Quantum Computing Matters Quantum computing aims to complement traditional computers by leveraging principles of quantum physics. At its core are **qubits**—quantum bits that can exist in multiple states simultaneously, enabling computations impossible for classical computers. This technology has potential applications across finance, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and countless other industries. "This moment underscores Yale's long-standing commitment to advancing quantum research and translating it into real-world impact," said **Mike Crair**, vice provost for research at Yale. "As quantum stands to influence nearly every aspect of the nation's economy and scientific discovery, Yale is proud to support cutting-edge faculty research." ### Connecticut's Quantum Investment The state is backing this momentum with significant investments. In November, Connecticut Governor **Ned Lamont** pledged **$121 million** toward quantum technology, including support for **QuantumCT**—a nonprofit co-led by UConn and Yale—and a first-of-its-kind quantum incubator in New Haven. QuantumCT focuses on research, innovation, and workforce development, aiming to expand the state's capacity in aerospace, defense, pharmaceuticals, and other key sectors. <iframe width="200" height="113" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nFX3ByGTo10?start=1&feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen title="Pioneering Error-Resilient Quantum Computing for Scalable Innovation"></iframe> ### From Lab to Market: The Yale Approach Quantum Circuits emerged from Yale's pioneering work in quantum computing with superconducting circuits, which began in the early 2000s. The company was founded in 2015 by Schoelkopf, recent Nobel laureate **Michel Devoret**, and **Luigi Frunzio**, a senior research scientist at Yale Engineering. Their approach focuses on building **better qubits** rather than simply adding more, creating a more robust and cost-effective system. "We weren't seeing people picking up on our vision, particularly in error correction," Schoelkopf explained. "We finally decided that maybe the only way we could get our work out there was to do the tech transfer ourselves and start a company." In 2019, Quantum Circuits opened a **6,000-square-foot lab and manufacturing facility** in New Haven, raising $90 million in venture capital before the D-Wave acquisition.  *The Jan. 24, 2019 ribbon cutting ceremony for Quantum Circuits' New Haven lab.

"By joining forces with D-Wave, we are accelerating the roadmap to commercially viable gate-model quantum computers."  *Ray Smets, CEO of Quantum Circuits. Photo courtesy of QCI* ### A Model for Tech Transfer The success of Quantum Circuits highlights Yale's commitment to translating research into real-world impact. "The success of Quantum Circuits testifies powerfully to Yale's strength in quantum science and engineering, and to the ambition and ingenuity of our faculty," said **Jeffrey Brock**, dean of Yale Engineering. "Yale Engineering is investing in this kind of lab-to-impact technology transfer, and Rob Schoelkopf's triumph proves those investments can be catalytic for New Haven and for society." Schoelkopf will take a one-year leave from Yale to support D-Wave's expansion in New Haven before returning to his faculty role. "We need to make it easier for folks with ideas to get launched and build up this economy," he said. This development positions New Haven as a growing hub for **quantum innovation**, creating high-skill jobs and attracting global talent and investment to Connecticut's tech ecosystem.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>quantumcomputing</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>startup</category> <category>yale</category> <category>innovation</category> <enclosure url="https://news.yale.edu/sites/default/files/styles/opengraph_image/public/2026-01/2026_01_15_11-22-13_R5A_6916-YN.jpg?h=839d7dd9&itok=Dy3Zmghv" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI 'Tsunami' Threatens 60% of Jobs: Young Workers Face Biggest Risk, IMF Warns]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-tsunami-threatens-60-of-jobs-young-workers-face-biggest-risk-imf-warns</link> <guid>ai-tsunami-threatens-60-of-jobs-young-workers-face-biggest-risk-imf-warns</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 23 Jan 2026 20:15:13 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Kristalina Georgieva speaking in Davos. Photograph: Denis Balibouse/Reuters* ## The Numbers Behind the Warning Georgieva revealed that **60% of jobs in advanced economies** will be affected by AI—either enhanced, eliminated, or transformed—with 40% globally facing similar impacts. She noted that in advanced economies, one in ten jobs has already been **"enhanced" by AI**, leading to increased pay for these workers and positive knock-on effects for local economies. However, the outlook is less optimistic for younger workers. Georgieva warned that AI will **wipe out many entry-level roles** traditionally filled by younger employees. "Tasks that are eliminated are usually what entry-level jobs do at present, so young people searching for jobs find it harder to get to a good placement," she explained. ## Broader Economic Implications The **middle class** is also at risk, according to Georgieva. Workers whose jobs aren't directly changed by AI may see their pay fall without a corresponding productivity boost from the technology. "So the middle class, inevitably, is going to be affected," she predicted. Georgieva expressed concern about the **lack of regulation** surrounding AI. "This is moving so fast, and yet we don't know how to make it safe. We don't know how to make it inclusive. Wake up, AI is for real, and it is transforming our world faster than we are getting ahead of it," she urged. ## Voices from the Forum Christy Hoffman, general secretary of the UNI global union, echoed these concerns, stating, "It's just a basic premise that the point of AI, on the business side, is to increase productivity, therefore lower costs—which will be cutting jobs." She called for **fair distribution of productivity gains** and urged employers to involve workers in discussions about AI implementation. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella warned that AI could lose its **"social permission"** to compete for resources like energy if it fails to benefit society beyond a few powerful tech firms. Meanwhile, European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde highlighted that the AI boom might be hampered by **growing mistrust between economies** and widening global inequality. Lagarde emphasized the need for international cooperation, noting that AI is **capital intensive, energy intensive, and data intensive**. "If countries did not work cooperatively and 'define the new rules of the game,' there would be less capital and less data," she said.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>jobmarket</category> <category>imf</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>regulation</category> <enclosure url="https://i.guim.co.uk/img/media/f58804b1cea63ffe33064d3843ef59953f94f456/716_303_4196_3357/master/4196.jpg?width=1200&height=630&quality=85&auto=format&fit=crop&precrop=40:21,offset-x50,offset-y0&overlay-align=bottom%2Cleft&overlay-width=100p&overlay-base64=L2ltZy9zdGF0aWMvb3ZlcmxheXMvdGctZGVmYXVsdC5wbmc&enable=upscale&s=c4bc64e2a95fe336d65c55c239ba0f40" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Meta's Latest Layoffs: Hundreds of Bay Area Tech Jobs Slashed Amid Industry-Wide Cuts]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/metas-latest-layoffs-hundreds-of-bay-area-tech-jobs-slashed-amid-industry-wide-cuts</link> <guid>metas-latest-layoffs-hundreds-of-bay-area-tech-jobs-slashed-amid-industry-wide-cuts</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 23 Jan 2026 13:15:15 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## Meta Announces Hundreds of Bay Area Job Cuts Facebook owner **Meta Platforms** has disclosed plans to slash **hundreds of jobs** in the Bay Area, adding to the ongoing job losses in the region's tech industry. ### Details of the Layoffs The decision will affect **219 positions** at 311 Airport Blvd. in Burlingame, according to a WARN letter filed with the state Employment Development Department. **Menlo Park-based Meta Platforms** said the cuts would take place on or around **March 20**, with separations expected to be permanent. **Meta Platforms Chief People Officer Janelle Gale** stated in the WARN letter: "Separations resulting from this action are expected to be permanent. None of the above-described affected employees are represented by any union. Separated employees are not permitted to displace remaining employees based on seniority or any other factor." ### Context and Broader Impact This disclosure comes just weeks after the company cut at least **308 jobs in Menlo Park**, which took effect on December 22, 2025, according to a prior WARN notice. The staffing reductions in the Bay Area are part of **Meta's decision to jettison 1,500 jobs** from its virtual reality unit. Some affected workers might be able to remain with the company in other positions. "Affected employees who are offered and accept another position with the company before their anticipated separation date will not be separated from employment as a result of this action," Gale said. ### Bay Area Tech Job Losses **Meta Platforms is far from alone** in eliminating tech jobs in the Bay Area. According to seasonally adjusted estimates from Beacon Economics reviewed by this news organization, over the one-year period that ended in November 2025, tech companies eliminated a net total of **29,500 jobs in the region**. Beacon derived the industry data from the state EDD's official monthly reports. This trend highlights the ongoing challenges in the tech sector, with major players like Meta making significant workforce adjustments as part of broader strategic shifts.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>meta</category> <category>layoffs</category> <category>bayarea</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>employment</category> <enclosure url="https://www.pressdemocrat.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/SJM-L-METAJOBCUTS-11150-3.jpg?w=1024&h=577" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
