2008 WAS THE GREAT RECESSION.
2025 COULD BE THE GREAT REALIZATION WHEN PEOPLE FINALLY SEE THAT JOB SECURITY IS AN ILLUSION.
2025 JUST PASSED 2008 LEVELS FOR LAYOFFS — AND IT’S ONLY NOVEMBER. COMPANIES AREN’T CUTTING JOBS BECAUSE THINGS ARE GREAT.
THEY’RE CUTTING BECAUSE MARGINS ARE TIGHTENING, COSTS ARE RISING, AND AI IS REPLACING MORE THAN JUST ENTRY-LEVEL ROLES.
