The firm may announce further reductions across various functions over the next two years while evaluating tasks suitable for AI integration, sources said. Bob Sternfels, the Global Managing Partner, stated that McKinsey is **prioritizing investments in roles that directly engage with clients**, while closely reviewing staffing levels in other departments. The consultancy, which has been in operation for nearly 100 years, employs around 40,000 people, including approximately 3,000 partners. “We are continuing to add folks who are client deployed,” Sternfels said in a Bloomberg television interview in September. “We will upskill folks more, we will probably have fewer folks in the non-client deployed areas, but they will be leveraged by today’s technology and AI.” The sector is facing several obstacles, such as reduced corporate budgets and shifts in government policy. Competitor **Accenture Plc** has indicated that anticipated cuts in U.S. federal spending on consultancy services may hinder its growth in the coming year, despite surpassing revenue forecasts in the fourth quarter. CEO Julie Sweet informed analysts during the September earnings call that the company is letting go of employees who cannot be retrained, as it shifts its focus toward more **automated, AI-driven operations**. Advances in computing are reshaping the workforce, leaving many roles vulnerable to automation. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, **global banks could cut as many as 200,000 jobs over the next three to five years** as AI takes on tasks traditionally handled by humans. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has acknowledged the efficiency gains while noting the potential for job displacement.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>mckinsey</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>ai</category> <category>automation</category> <category>consulting</category> <enclosure url="https://media.assettype.com/thebridgechronicle%2F2025-11-27%2Fo250eibi%2FHero-Image-2025-11-27T115640.479.png?w=1200&ar=40%3A21&auto=format%2Ccompress&ogImage=true&mode=crop&enlarge=true&overlay=false&overlay_position=bottom&overlay_width=100" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Forget the Degree: Tech CEOs Reveal What Really Gets You Hired in 2025]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/forget-the-degree-tech-ceos-reveal-what-really-gets-you-hired-in-2025</link> <guid>forget-the-degree-tech-ceos-reveal-what-really-gets-you-hired-in-2025</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 26 Nov 2025 13:15:14 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## Key Takeaways - **Tech executives** like Palantir CEO Alex Karp have said they don't care if or where employees went to college—**work performance matters more**. - Apple CEO Tim Cook has said a **four-year degree isn't required** to work at Apple. - Tech has seen a number of **college dropouts make billions**, like Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Mark Zuckerberg. Executives at top tech companies are telling young people to rethink the purpose of education, and even whether they should attend college at all. Tech has had a range of successful college dropouts in its history, and the industry is being shaken up by the growing **influence of artificial intelligence**, leaving some new graduates struggling to land the high-paying jobs that were once plentiful. ## CEOs From Apple, Nvidia, Palantir Have All Given Their Thoughts on College Palantir (PLTR) CEO Alex Karp said during the tech firm's second-quarter earnings call earlier this month that he doesn't particularly care where employees went to college. Instead, he said focusing on what you want to do for work matters more, and called working at Palantir "**the best credential in tech**." "If you come to Palantir, your career is set," Karp said, per an AlphaSense transcript, adding, "if you did not go to school or you went to a school that's not that great or you went to Harvard or Princeton, Yale, once you come to Palantir, you're a Palantirian. No one cares about the other stuff." Apple (AAPL) CEO Tim Cook has said that a **college degree isn't a requirement** to work at Apple. In 2019, Cook said there was a "mismatch between the skills that are coming out of colleges and what the skills are that we believe we need in the future," and said about half of Apple's U.S. employment that year was made up of workers without four-year degrees. In another interview in 2023, Cook said certain traits like a willingness to collaborate or skills like **coding can be more valuable than a college degree**, and repeated that a degree isn't always needed to work for the iPhone maker. Jensen Huang, CEO of Nvidia (NVDA), said earlier this year that he would probably change his major if he could become college-aged again. The tech CEO said he likely would opt for "more of the physical sciences" like physics and chemistry rather than the bachelor's and master's degree in electrical engineering he earned before starting Nvidia. ## Some of Tech's Most Successful Executives Have Been Dropouts Some of tech's most successful leaders never finished college, including former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, Meta Platforms (META) Founder Mark Zuckerberg, and Microsoft (MSFT) Co-Founder Bill Gates. Jobs' daughter wrote in a book that the former Apple CEO said college professors "teach you how other people think, during your most productive years," and said college can kill creativity and turn people into "bozos." However, Gates said he regretted leaving Harvard after one year. He even tried asking another early Microsoft programmer to run the company so he could return to school full-time. Gates told CNBC earlier this year that he values "a broad set of knowledge" and would only recommend dropping out in an "exceptional case."]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techjobs</category> <category>careergrowth</category> <category>nodegree</category> <category>skills</category> <category>techceos</category> <enclosure url="https://www.investopedia.com/thmb/oIi1Zeiv9gX67GQz6YoCq4SQUEY=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale():max_bytes(150000):strip_icc()/GettyImages-2237471089-da1636656edd4e4fbdeb40231e502e3e.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Is AI Really Stealing Your Job? The Truth Behind Tech Layoffs Revealed]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/is-ai-really-stealing-your-job-the-truth-behind-tech-layoffs-revealed</link> <guid>is-ai-really-stealing-your-job-the-truth-behind-tech-layoffs-revealed</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 26 Nov 2025 20:15:15 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## HP Joins the AI-Driven Layoff Trend Computer maker **HP** is joining the growing list of companies that are conveniently announcing company-wide **AI initiatives** and plans to cut thousands of jobs at the same time. HP shared on Tuesday that it expects to scale **artificial intelligence** within the company and lay off about **4,000-6,000 employees** by the end of 2028. With roughly 56,000 employees, that comes up to a **10% workforce reduction**. “Looking forward, we are taking decisive actions to mitigate recent cost headwinds and are investing in **AI-enabled initiatives** to accelerate product innovation, improve customer satisfaction, and boost productivity,” HP CFO Karen Parkhill said in the press release. Per the Guardian, the cuts will be centered around the **product development, internal operations, and customer support teams**. ## The Grim Job Market and AI's Role It’s safe to say that 2025 has so far been dominated by the question of whether or not **AI is leading to mass unemployment**. The **job market is grim**. Companies are cutting back on hiring new employees, while some are laying off hundreds to make investors happy in the next earnings report. Fed Chair **Jerome Powell** said in September that although there is still great uncertainty, he believes that AI is “probably a factor” in the dramatic slowdown in hiring, particularly when it comes to **young graduates** who are facing a particularly concerning unemployment situation. ## Studies and Expert Opinions on AI's Impact There have been studies to back this phenomenon up as well. A **Stanford study** from August found that workers aged 22 to 25 in the most **AI-exposed jobs** were hit hardest by a decline in employment. Many deem the jobs that are easiest to automate are those that would be done by young graduates. Experts have voiced concerns over the impact this will have on society as a whole, as less early career work would mean that the next generation of the workforce won’t receive crucial training. Even without the studies, companies have been openly and even proudly pointing the finger at **AI as the reason** why they are laying people off or just not hiring as much. Online learning platform **Chegg** laid off 45% of its workforce recently, citing “new realities of AI” as a factor. **Amazon** slashed 14,000 white-collar jobs, first seemingly pointing the finger at the “transformative technology” of AI before claiming days later that the cuts were not financially nor AI-driven. Many executives, like **Shopify CEO Tobias Lütke** and **Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn**, have also been clear about their wish to reduce hiring in favor of automation. PwC global chairman told BBC last week that the company had scrapped plans it made in 2021 to hire 100,000 people by 2026, because “now we have artificial intelligence.” ## The Counterargument: Is AI Just a Scapegoat? Still, though, some experts dispute that premise. “It’s much harder to implement AI in a firm than people realize,” **Robert Seamans**, New York University professor of management and organizations, told Gizmodo in August. “Firms don’t typically have the in-house talent that’s needed to train, operate, and oversee whatever AI they implement, and so until you have the personnel in place that have that expertise, it’s going to be really hard to rely heavily on AI.” An **MIT report** from August can back this up: corporate AI pilots are not as good as they seem at generating actual revenue gains. Seamans believes that at least some of these companies are actually using **AI as a scapegoat** for layoffs that stem from things like economic uncertainty or tariffs, which are “much harder to blame.” Meanwhile, **Palantir CTO Shyam Sankar** called the “all-powerful-AI-taking-over-jobs” narrative a Silicon Valley “fundraising shtick,” in a recent conversation with the New York Times. Author **Cory Doctorow**, on the other hand, thinks that AI is unable to successfully replace many workers but bosses, and specifically tech bosses, “love the story” as a means to **terrify workers** into working more and complaining less (since, hypothetically, an AI chatbot could do all that work and not have to take breaks). “It gives them a chance to put them in their place,” Doctorow said in a talk last month.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>techlayoffs</category> <category>ai</category> <category>jobmarket</category> <category>automation</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <enclosure url="https://gizmodo.com/app/uploads/2025/11/shutterstock_2447849995-1200x675.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Job Disruption: Google CEO Reveals the Future of Work and Why You Shouldn't Panic]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-job-disruption-google-ceo-reveals-the-future-of-work-and-why-you-shouldnt-panic</link> <guid>ai-job-disruption-google-ceo-reveals-the-future-of-work-and-why-you-shouldnt-panic</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 25 Nov 2025 13:15:13 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Sundar Pichai (Image credit: BBC interview/YouTube)* ## Companies Already Replacing Workers with AI Several prominent companies have openly admitted to replacing human workers with AI technology: - **Klarna** reduced headcount by approximately **40%** through AI implementation - **Duolingo** stopped using contractors for work that AI can handle - **Salesforce** eliminated **4,000 customer support roles**, stating AI can perform **50%** of the company's work ## Google CEO's Perspective on AI and Employment In a revealing BBC interview, **Google CEO Sundar Pichai** addressed concerns about AI-driven job displacement. While acknowledging that **AI will eliminate some jobs**, Pichai emphasized that the technology will also "evolve and transition" many roles, requiring people to adapt to new workplace realities. Pichai described AI as moving beyond simple tasks to performing "**complex**" functions and acting as an agent on users' behalf within the next 12 months. "That's where it gets really interesting," he noted. ## AI as a Productivity Accelerator, Not Just a Job Killer In a separate Bloomberg interview, Pichai presented a more optimistic view of AI's impact on the workforce. He described AI as "**an accelerator**" that enhances engineering productivity by eliminating tedious tasks, allowing professionals to focus on more impactful work. "I expect we will grow from our current engineering phase even into next year," Pichai stated, suggesting that AI could actually drive demand for more employees by enabling new product development. ## Addressing Concerns About White-Collar Job Erosion When questioned about Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's prediction that AI could eliminate **half of entry-level white-collar jobs** within five years, Pichai acknowledged the legitimacy of these concerns. "I respect that... I think it's important to voice those concerns and debate them," he responded. Pichai cautioned against trying to predict too far into the future, calling it "pointless," while recognizing the genuine anxiety many workers feel about AI's rapid advancement and its potential impact on their careers.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>layoffs</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>automation</category> <enclosure url="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-125564748,width-1070,height-580,imgsize-496675,resizemode-75,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-500/photo.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Apple's Secret Layoffs: What's Really Happening With Their Sales Teams?]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/apples-secret-layoffs-whats-really-happening-with-their-sales-teams</link> <guid>apples-secret-layoffs-whats-really-happening-with-their-sales-teams</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 25 Nov 2025 20:15:23 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *People sit in front of an Apple Store in Duesseldorf, Germany. Apple has quietly cut sales roles as it reshapes its retail approach.* ### Which Teams Are Affected? The reductions specifically affect **account managers** who handle large businesses, schools, and government agencies. Staff members who run Apple's **briefing centers** - where the company hosts clients for demonstrations and high-level meetings - were also included in the cuts. A sales group that works with government agencies, including the **Defense and Justice departments**, was among the most heavily hit. This team had already been strained by a 43-day federal shutdown and budget tightening by the Department of Government Efficiency. ### Internal Opportunities and Severance A company spokesperson emphasized that Apple is still hiring and will allow affected employees to apply for other roles inside the company. Workers were told they have more than a month to find new internal positions. Those who do not secure a position by **January 20** will receive severance packages. ### Strategic Shift in Retail Approach Apple has framed this restructuring as an effort to **simplify its sales operation** and build stronger customer connections. The company is reshaping its retail approach and shifting more work toward **third-party partners**. ### Context in the Broader Tech Industry While Apple has made targeted cuts before - including last year's reductions tied to its canceled car project and changes in the services division - **broad layoffs remain unusual** for the company. The latest move comes as other major tech companies, including **Verizon, Synopsys, and IBM**, have also announced job cuts. The company did not specify exactly how many employees were affected by these latest workforce reductions.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>apple</category> <category>layoffs</category> <category>sales</category> <category>retail</category> <category>restructuring</category> <enclosure url="https://s.hdnux.com/photos/01/55/27/22/28669114/3/rawImage.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Apple's Rare Layoffs: What It Means for Tech Sales Jobs and the Industry]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/apples-rare-layoffs-what-it-means-for-tech-sales-jobs-and-the-industry</link> <guid>apples-rare-layoffs-what-it-means-for-tech-sales-jobs-and-the-industry</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 24 Nov 2025 20:15:14 GMT</pubDate> <description><]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>apple</category> <category>layoffs</category> <category>sales</category> <category>techjobs</category> <category>business</category> <enclosure url="https://sherwoodnews.imgix.net/mwphzyq69oso/en-US/assets/files/2170583798_cupertino-california-united-states-a-view-of-apple-park-in-the-corporate-headquarters-of.jpg?auto=compress%2Cformat&cs=srgb" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Apple's $600 Billion Bet: Reshaping America's Tech Future with Jobs, Chips, and AI]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/apples-600-billion-bet-reshaping-americas-tech-future-with-jobs-chips-and-ai</link> <guid>apples-600-billion-bet-reshaping-americas-tech-future-with-jobs-chips-and-ai</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 23 Nov 2025 20:15:16 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Apple is making a huge financial move in the United States. The company will invest **$600 billion** over the next four years to support American manufacturing, technology, and new jobs. This is one of the largest commitments Apple has made in its history. It shows that Apple wants to build more of its future in the U.S., not just overseas. This new plan focuses on three big goals: **creating jobs**, building more advanced hardware in the U.S., and strengthening American tech innovation. ## Apple Wants to Build More in America For many years, most Apple products were built outside the United States. That is changing. Apple now plans to expand factories and production centers inside the country. The company wants to make more parts at home, not just design them. By doing this, Apple hopes to reduce delays that can happen when products depend on foreign factories. When global shipping slows down, product launches can be delayed. Apple wants to prevent that by building closer to home. This plan could also lead to more **American-made components** in iPhones, iPads, Macs, and future devices. ## New Jobs and Training Programs The investment is expected to create **tens of thousands of new jobs** across the country. These jobs will not be just factory work. Apple plans to hire people in research, software, engineering, robotics, artificial intelligence, chip design, and sustainability. Apple will also launch a new program to train workers for advanced manufacturing. The program will help people learn modern skills like machine programming, microchip handling, automated assembly, and precision engineering. This can help workers get **high-paying tech jobs**, even if they do not have a long history in the industry. The goal is simple: help American workers learn the skills needed to build next-generation devices. ## A Big Push for U.S.-Made Chips Apple is known for designing powerful chips, like the M-series chips used in Mac computers and iPads. However, most chip manufacturing still happens overseas. Apple wants to change that by supporting new chip-making facilities in the U.S. Building chips in America has several benefits: - **Faster supply chain** - **More control over production** - **Higher security** - Support for American manufacturing jobs - Better innovation in hardware design This could lead to faster processors and more advanced devices that feel truly built from the ground up in the U.S. ## Focus on Innovation and AI Apple will also invest a large part of the money in research and development, especially in **artificial intelligence**. The company wants to create tools that can compete globally and shape future products. This investment could lead to progress in areas like: - Smarter digital assistants - Faster on-device AI - Better voice recognition - More powerful chips - Advanced health tracking - New types of wearables and AR devices Apple wants to push technology forward, not just build products more efficiently. ## Why Apple Is Doing This Now Apple is making this move for several reasons: - Global supply chains have become risky. - Competition in AI and chips is intense. - Many countries are bringing manufacturing home. - Customers want products built responsibly and locally. - The U.S. government is supporting tech manufacturing. Apple also wants to show leadership. When a major tech company invests this much in American innovation, others might follow. ## Challenges Apple Must Overcome This plan is huge, and it will not be simple. Apple will face challenges like: - Training enough skilled workers - Building advanced manufacturing quickly - High costs of local production - Finding U.S. suppliers for key materials - Competing with global tech companies Success will require careful planning and long-term commitment. But Apple seems ready to take that risk. ## What This Means for the Future If Apple succeeds, this investment could change the future of U.S. technology. We may see more devices built in America, more jobs in high-tech fields, and faster innovation in consumer electronics. This could also create a stronger ecosystem of American suppliers and factories. Instead of relying on other countries, the U.S. could become a leader in advanced chip production and hardware development. For customers, this might mean faster product launches, more durable devices, and better quality control. Apple’s $600 billion investment is not just about money. It is a statement about the future of technology, jobs, and global leadership. Apple wants to build smarter, faster, and closer to home. The next generation of Apple devices may not just be designed in America. They may finally be built here too.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>apple</category> <category>investment</category> <category>manufacturing</category> <category>jobs</category> <category>innovation</category> <enclosure url="https://res.cloudinary.com/jerrick/image/upload/c_scale,f_jpg,q_auto/69234c74276037001e695177.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
