Layoffs 2025: In the year 2025, many tech companies around the world conducted layoffs. Due to this, more than 120,000 people lost their jobs. This was a year when there were large-scale cuts in the workforce of the global tech industry.

Companies laid off people due to their focus on cutting expenses, restructuring of working patterns and changes being made regarding artificial intelligence. Roles were reduced in many different sectors, from chip manufacturing companies to IT service firms and cloud and telecom companies.

Intel laid off the most people

Intel laid off the most employees from its place. Semiconductor company Intel laid off about 24,000 people to rein in its expenses and change its foundry-focused business model.

After this, the name of Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) came at second place, which laid off about 20,000 staff. The reasons for this were said to be lack of skills and greater adoption of AI-based delivery models. This means that these two companies were hit hard by layoffs this year. Verizon also eliminated about 15,000 roles while restructuring its operations to reduce costs.

Amazon is no less in terms of layoffs

Amazon’s name was also included in the list of companies making layoffs this year. This year, Amazon reduced its workforce by eliminating about 14,000 management and administrative roles. Dell Technologies also reduced about 12,000 people from its total workforce. The company focused on cost management and turned to AI-optimized hardware and enterprise services.

AI for Layoffs: In this changing era of Artificial Intelligence (AI), news of layoffs are continuously coming to the fore. Thousands of people are being thrown out of work. Many companies are preparing for more layoffs. Whatever may be the reason, losing a job is no less than a shock for any person. However, it is worth wondering whether AI alone is responsible for people losing their jobs or are there some other reasons too.

Such workers live in Target

Avik, who has been an HR professional on Instagram, said that layoff decisions are not taken overnight. He also told that this phase of layoffs has not started only because of AI automation, but compliance is also responsible for it. This means that employees who do not follow the process or do not complete training are always in the target. They are at the highest risk of losing their jobs.

Now layoffs due to overhiring

Overhiring can also be held responsible for this. After Corona and the sudden boom in digitalization, companies had assumed that growth would continue. During this time, big teams were formed, people were hired indiscriminately, many different roles emerged. Now when the demand is decreasing, the budget is being cut. This is the time when management is forced to reduce the number of its employees. In such a situation, AI alone cannot be made a villain, it is just a means. The real culprit is uncontrolled expansion.

A hint is enough for the wise.

When someone is about to lose his job, he gets many signals such as your workload is suddenly increased, your share of work or responsibility is given to someone else. You start being kept out of meetings, projects or some important discussions. The manager’s behavior changes suddenly. Suddenly faults are found in your work and you are stopped from getting promotion or growth. However, it is not necessary that if this is happening to you too, then your job is in danger, but there is no harm in sensing the signs in time and looking for the right opportunity so that even if there is a layoff, you can easily overcome it.
