Despite the tech layoffs that have hit the industry, Damien's story reveals how some workers are capitalizing on remote work inefficiencies. ## From 3 to 5 Jobs Damien started his overemployment journey in 2021, earning $90,000 from one remote IT support job. After landing a better offer for $110,000, he decided to do both secretly. Over time, he quit those roles and later built up to three jobs by early 2025. After a six-month search, he added a fourth in September 2025 and a fifth by early 2026, replacing a contract that ended. ## The Daily Grind Damien wakes up at 4 a.m., hits the gym, and starts work around 6 a.m., staggering logins across three time zones. He logs off by 5 p.m., working about 11-hour days. He says the workload is manageable because his employers **overestimate the time needed** for his tasks. ## Avoiding Suspicion To avoid getting caught, Damien built a program that makes his computers appear active. He also delivers high-quality work, saying, "I just don't give folks a reason to think that they need to be tracking me." He hasn't found generative AI useful for his IT roles due to the human interaction required. ## Guilt and Future Plans Despite the financial success, Damien feels some guilt seeing former colleagues post about layoffs on LinkedIn. "I don't want to take all the jobs that are available when there are people out there that truly need roles," he says. He's now focusing on **passive income through real estate** and hopes to eventually leave overemployment behind, noting that people "run out of things to buy." ## Key Takeaways - Overemployment can significantly boost income but comes with risks of burnout and professional repercussions. - Tech layoffs and return-to-office mandates are reducing the availability of remote roles for job jugglers. - Damien's story highlights the **inefficiencies in remote work** that some workers exploit.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>overemployment</category> <category>remotework</category> <category>techlayoffs</category> <category>itjobs</category> <category>work-lifebalance</category> <enclosure url="https://i.insider.com/6a0385a458810e27922ace6f?width=1200&format=jpeg" length="0" type="image//6a0385a458810e27922ace6f"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Trump Administration Says AI Isn't Costing Jobs Yet—But Tech Layoffs Tell a Different Story]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/trump-administration-says-ai-isnt-costing-jobs-yetbut-tech-layoffs-tell-a-different-story</link> <guid>trump-administration-says-ai-isnt-costing-jobs-yetbut-tech-layoffs-tell-a-different-story</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 13 May 2026 12:15:25 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[The Trump administration is downplaying concerns that artificial intelligence is already destroying jobs, even as a growing number of technology companies openly link layoffs to AI-driven restructuring and automation. Speaking to CNBC, White House National Economic Council Director **Kevin Hassett** said there was currently “no sign in the data” that AI was directly costing people their jobs. “There’s no sign in the data that AI is costing anybody their job right now, but we are studying the future of AI and what it means for the workforce, so we’ve got a big taskforce on that,” Hassett said during an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box.” The remarks come at an awkward moment for the administration. Over the past several months, major tech firms including **Amazon, Meta, Oracle, Coinbase and Cloudflare** have all announced fresh rounds of layoffs while simultaneously talking up AI-powered productivity gains. Many of those companies are no longer framing AI as a future possibility. Instead, executives increasingly describe it as a technology already changing how work gets done — and how many employees are needed to do it. ## Tech companies that named AI for job cuts Payments company **Block** cut nearly 4,000 employees earlier this year, reducing its workforce by almost half. At the time, CFO Amrita Ahuja said the company wanted to operate with “smaller, highly talented teams using AI to automate more work.” Software company **Atlassian** also slashed around 1,600 jobs in March, saying the move would help fund further investments in AI and enterprise sales. The latest cuts have added to growing anxiety across the tech industry, where AI tools are increasingly capable of writing software code, automating internal workflows, generating marketing content and handling customer service tasks that previously required large teams. Last week, **Coinbase** reduced its headcount by 14%, with CEO Brian Armstrong pointing directly to AI’s growing capabilities. “Over the past year, I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks,” Armstrong wrote in a public statement. “Non-technical teams are now shipping production code and many of our workflows are being automated.” **Cloudflare** delivered an even starker message while announcing roughly 1,100 job cuts. The company said “agentic AI” had fundamentally changed how it operates internally, with employees across engineering, HR, finance and marketing now running thousands of AI agent sessions daily. Despite those developments, Hassett argued that companies adopting AI often experience stronger growth and may ultimately create more employment opportunities rather than fewer. “Companies that adopt AI tend to see rapid revenue growth and even employment growth,” he said, adding that firms failing to adopt the technology risk falling behind competitors.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>jobs</category> <category>layoffs</category> <category>automation</category> <category>techindustry</category> <enclosure url="https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-131052796,width-1280,height-720,imgsize-41918,resizemode-6,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-600/photo.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Starbucks Slashes 61 Tech Jobs at Seattle HQ: What's Behind the Cuts?]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/starbucks-slashes-61-tech-jobs-at-seattle-hq-whats-behind-the-cuts</link> <guid>starbucks-slashes-61-tech-jobs-at-seattle-hq-whats-behind-the-cuts</guid> <pubDate>Mon, 11 May 2026 19:15:28 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Starbucks is cutting **61 tech jobs** at its Seattle headquarters as part of a broader reorganization under new CTO Anand Varadarajan. The layoffs, detailed in a Washington state WARN filing, affect roles including cybersecurity analysts, technical product managers, systems analysts, and scrum masters. ### Why the cuts? The restructuring aligns with CEO Brian Niccol's turnaround strategy, which focuses on **AI-driven initiatives** like an AI-powered drink-ordering assistant and algorithms to manage mobile order timing. The company has warned it must improve marketing, data analytics, and AI tools to stay competitive. ### Broader tech layoff wave Starbucks joins a growing list of tech companies—Amazon, Meta, Microsoft, and others—cutting jobs amid post-pandemic restructuring and a shift toward AI priorities. The Pacific Northwest has been particularly hard hit. ### Key roles affected - Cybersecurity analyst - Technical product manager - Systems analyst - Systems administrator - Scrum master - Architect (director and manager levels)]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>starbucks</category> <category>techlayoffs</category> <category>ai</category> <category>digitaltransformation</category> <category>seattle</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.geekwire.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/starbucksHQ-1260x936.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Models Disagree on Which Jobs AI Will Destroy: Study Reveals Shocking Inconsistencies]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-models-disagree-on-which-jobs-ai-will-destroy-study-reveals-shocking-inconsistencies</link> <guid>ai-models-disagree-on-which-jobs-ai-will-destroy-study-reveals-shocking-inconsistencies</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 10 May 2026 19:15:18 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[Economists asked **ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude** which jobs are most exposed to AI. The result? The models often gave **different answers**, highlighting a critical flaw in using AI to predict its own impact on the job market. ## The Problem with AI Job Predictions The numbers researchers use to forecast which jobs could be lost to artificial intelligence may be **unreliable**, and one culprit could be AI itself. Worries about how AI will affect the job market have become one of the most pressing economic questions of our time, and understanding the limits of any forecasts is crucial. Policymakers want to know which workers could be **displaced and need support**. Schools, students, and parents want to know which careers might be **“AI-proof.”** But if the AI models themselves can't agree, how can we trust the predictions? ## Key Takeaways - **AI models are inconsistent** when predicting job exposure to AI, raising doubts about the reliability of such forecasts. - The study underscores the need for **caution** when using AI to inform policy decisions about workforce displacement. - Understanding the **limitations** of AI predictions is crucial for workers, educators, and policymakers alike.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>jobmarket</category> <category>predictions</category> <category>chatgpt</category> <category>gemini</category> <enclosure url="https://images.wsj.net/im-21074706/social" length="0" type="image//im-21074706/social"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Cloudflare Cuts 1,100+ Jobs Despite 34% Revenue Surge: AI Shift Blamed]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/cloudflare-cuts-1-100-jobs-despite-34-revenue-surge-ai-shift-blamed</link> <guid>cloudflare-cuts-1-100-jobs-despite-34-revenue-surge-ai-shift-blamed</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 08 May 2026 12:15:29 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[**Cloudflare** is laying off over 1,100 employees worldwide, roughly a fifth of its workforce, despite reporting a **34% year-over-year revenue increase** to $639.8 million in Q1 2026. The cuts come as the company pivots toward an "agentic AI era," with internal AI usage skyrocketing by **600%** in the past three months. In a company blog post titled *Building for the future*, co-founders Matthew Prince and Michelle Zatlyn explained that AI is fundamentally changing how Cloudflare operates. Employees in HR, marketing, finance, and engineering now run "thousands" of AI agent sessions daily, necessitating a restructuring to focus on AI-driven growth. The layoffs primarily affect roles in HR, marketing, finance, and engineering. Affected employees will receive a severance package including full base pay through end of 2026, plus healthcare support in the U.S. through year-end. The company expects to incur **$140–$150 million** in charges related to the workforce reduction. Despite the job cuts, Cloudflare’s revenue surge underscores the dual impact of AI: driving business growth while displacing traditional roles. Prince noted that AI is "the biggest tailwind we’ve ever seen in Cloudflare’s history," reshaping the internet and software creation. This move reflects a broader trend in the tech industry where companies are **restructuring for AI efficiency**, often at the cost of human jobs. Cloudflare’s leadership emphasized they aim to make this a one-time reduction, avoiding further cuts in the foreseeable future.]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>cloudflare</category> <category>layoffs</category> <category>ai</category> <category>techindustry</category> <category>restructuring</category> <enclosure url="https://static.independent.co.uk/2026/05/08/11/2026-05-08T010916Z_1141700809_RC2LDCALGDVH_RTRMADP_3_CLOUDFLARE-LAYOFFS.jpg?width=1200&height=800&crop=1200:800" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[AI Ends 'Job Immunity' for Young Tech Workers: Study Reveals Shocking Shift]]></title> <link>https://www.remoteitjobs.app/article/ai-ends-job-immunity-for-young-tech-workers-study-reveals-shocking-shift</link> <guid>ai-ends-job-immunity-for-young-tech-workers-study-reveals-shocking-shift</guid> <pubDate>Sun, 03 May 2026 12:15:18 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[A new study from the Taub Center for Social Policy Studies reveals that **AI is reshaping unemployment in Israel**, particularly affecting young and entry-level hi-tech workers. The era of 'job immunity' for tech workers is over. ## Key Findings - **AI explains about 20% of the increase in programmer unemployment** between 2022 and 2025, with the impact concentrated since mid-2024. - Occupations that previously had very low unemployment rates—like software development—are now seeing the **most pronounced increases**. - **Young workers (aged 22-25) are hit hardest**, while experienced workers become more productive with AI, shifting demand away from juniors. ## Who Is Affected? AI is impacting a wide range of roles: **software developers, sales representatives, bookkeepers, lawyers, paralegals, market researchers, clerks, cashiers, warehouse workers, fast-food staff, and even some physicians and researchers**. However, hands-on jobs like plumbers, electricians, and firefighters remain largely immune. ## The Skills Gap Rising unemployment isn't just about disappearing jobs—it's also about a **growing mismatch between worker skills and employer requirements**. Even where vacancies exist, competition has intensified, demanding higher experience levels. ## What Can Workers Do? Researchers emphasize that **upskilling is critical**. Those who adapt to AI will benefit; those who don't risk being left behind. The study calls for government programs to help displaced workers gain AI-complementary skills. ## Broader Context While AI's overall impact on unemployment is still modest (2-6% of the change in occupational distribution), the trend is clear. The shift is also driven by structural factors like the hi-tech slowdown and post-COVID changes. However, **AI is accelerating the transformation**. > "The era of hi-tech workers' immunity is over. AI is ripping the cards. It locks the door mainly on young people." — Prof. Gil Epstein]]></description> <author>contact@remoteitjobs.app (RemoteITJobs.app)</author> <category>ai</category> <category>unemployment</category> <category>techworkers</category> <category>israel</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <enclosure url="https://images.jpost.com/image/upload/f_auto,fl_lossy/q_auto/c_fill,g_faces:center,h_720,w_1280/519450" length="0" type="image//image/upload/f_auto,fl_lossy/q_auto/c_fill,g_faces:center,h_720,w_1280/519450"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
