AI Layoffs?

As an MBA who has worked in businesses most of my adult career, I know that the current 2025-2026 layoffs are not from Artificial Intelligence improvements. The US is in a slowing economy, and every quarter companies have an earnings target they have to make to keep their stock price high. So in order to make these earning targets, companies have decided to layoff thousands of employees in order to save wage expenses and improve quarterly total revenue. This tactic in business is called window dressing. Companies also cut hours to employees one week before the end of the physical quarter to make their earnings look larger than they actually are. Companies will do these things to make, or beat analyst earning forecasts. The true winners are the shareholders and the true looser are the workers or employees.
