#BlockAILayoffs hit like a strange headline: the business isn’t “breaking,” but thousands of people are still being cut.

What stings is the framing. This wasn’t sold as a collapse it was sold as a redesign, where “intelligence tools” take over work that used to need whole teams. So it feels less like a one-time layoff and more like a new operating model.

And when the market cheers that kind of move, it quietly tells every other company: do the same.

Takeaway: AI won’t only change products it will change who gets to stay on the org chart.
