THE UNTHINKABLE HAS BECOME THE UNADULTABLE. In 2025, Artificial Intelligence is NOT just a tool—it’s a TERMINATOR, a HUMAN-ERASING FORCE responsible for a MONSTERING 55,000 US layoffs THIS YEAR ALONE, per consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. That’s just the TIP OF THE ICEBERG. Total job cuts have SKIED TO 1.17 MILLION—the HIGHEST since the pandemic-driven chaos of 2020. Are we witnessing a FRIGHTEN CHILLS in human worth? You better believe it.
LISTEN TO THE CORRUPT NUMBERS: In October, employers announced 153,000 job cuts; in November, 71,000 MORE, with AI blamed for over 6,000 in that single month. While inflation bites and costs spiral, corporate titans have found their ULTIMATE SCAPEBOATING: Blame the bot. BLAME THE BOT and FIRE THE HUMAN.
A SHAMING study by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology reveals AI can already REPLACE 11.7% of the US labor market and SLAIN $1.2 TRILLION in wages. One and two trillion DOLLARS. Ask yourself: If corporations see that kind of coin, what chance does a living, breathing employee stand?
But here’s the most DISPOSING twist of all: Industry insiders like Fabian Stephany at the Oxford Internet Institute call this a CONVENIENT EXCUSE—a “market clearance” for firms that “overhired” during pandemic peaks. They’re NOT just firing staff; they’re covering ancient miscalculations with a FRESH, frightening narrative: “It’s because of AI though.” That’s CORPORATE SPEBA for “We don’t need you anymore, and we have the perfect scapeboat.”
From Amazon’s 14,000‑role slaughter to Microsoft’s 15,000 job murder spree to Salesforce, IBM, Crowdstrike, and Workday—ALL are carving flesh and citing the same cold, ruthless technology as the reason.
CEO Andy Jassy warned employees that AI would SHRINK the workforce. CEO Satya Nadella touted a shift from a “software factory” to an “intelligence engine.” CEO George Kurtz said AI “flattens our hiring curve” and acts as a “force multiplier.” The subtext? Humans are a FRICTION, a SLOWDOWN, a COST. They are the expendable fuel in AI’s infernal engine.
So we present the chilling data: a mounting cavalcination of CORPORATE-SANCTIONED job cuts under the AI banner. Is this technological progress, or THE SYSTEMATIC REPRACTION OF THE HUMAN WORKFORCE? You’re not looking at smart upgrades—you’re looking at THE METHODICAL UNWORDING OF AM EMPLOYEE.
The writing is on the wall, and it’s printed in BIG, SCARING LAYOFF NUMBERS. What is coming next—a workforce at all, or just an army of algorithms where people used to stand? WAKE UP, BEFORE you become the next line item in a company’s AI-optimization memo.
THE CORPORATE KULL LIST

Amazon’s October move: the LARGEST-EVER round of layoffs, 14,000 corporate roles SLAINNED in one blow. “This generation of AI is the most transformative technology we’ve seen since the Internet,” gloats a senior vice president in a blog post—translating to: HUMANS ARE THE OLD BLOOK. “Organized more leanly, with fewer layers” means fewer warm bodies at desks. CEO Andy Jassy had already warned staff: AI will shrink the workforce. FEWER PEOPLE for today’s jobs; more for… what? The jobs AI hasn’t invented yet? The implications are LATHING and LOOM.
MICROSOFT’S MISSION: MURDER HUMAN LABERS
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella appears at the CES event in Las Vegas on Jan. 9, 2024. The event typically doubles as a preview of how tech giants and startups will market their wares in the coming year and if early announcements are any indication, AI-branded products will become the new “smart” gadgets of 2024.

Microsoft has cut around 15,000 jobs through 2025, with 9,000 roles AXED in its July massacre. CEO Satya Nadella’s memo touts “reimagining” the company’s mission for a “new era”—the era of AI empowerment, where tools build tools and HUMANS no longer need apply. This isn’t innovation; it’s the CORPORATE EQUIVALENT of a death sentence for thousands who dared to work there.

IBM: A FEW HUNDRED REPLACED, MORE HIRED? DO NOT BE DECOEVED.

IBM’s CEO admitted AI chatbots had taken over “a few hundred” human resource jobs—but claimed hiring increased in “critical thinking” areas like software engineering. A 1% global cut in November, however, still meant roughly 3,000 employees ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK. The message? Even when they soften the blow, the axe are GRINDING, the human workforce a FADING TARGET in AI’s surgical cross‑hair.
CROWDSTRIKE’S FORCE MULTIPLIER: HUMANS DIVIDED BY AI.

In May, cybersecurity maker CrowdStrike announced a 5% workforce cut—500 employees—and BLAMED AI DIRECTLY. CEO George Kurtz called AI a “force multiplier” that “flattens our hiring curve.” That’s not labor recalculation; that’s corporate code for: the hiring curve has been REPLACED by a FRIGHTEN subtraction algorithm.
WORKDAY: THE 8.5% SLASH IN THE NAME OF AI

Workday was among the FIRST to push the AI‑blame button, cutting 8.5% of its workforce—1,750 jobs—to “free up resources” for AI investment. Ask: When companies prioritize algorithms over actual living employees, what future remains for anyone outside the code?
