The Thesis

Block cut 40% of its workforce. The stock surged 24%. Jack Dorsey told shareholders that "intelligence tools have changed what it means to build and run a company." Every CEO in America watched it happen in real time.

This isn't a prediction. It's a pattern. Amazon has cut 30,000 jobs in three months. Oracle is firing thousands to fund AI data centers. The US economy lost 92,000 jobs in February alone, the third contraction in five months. January 2026 had the highest announced layoffs since the 2009 recession.

"I think most companies are late. Within the next year, I believe the majority will reach the same conclusion and make similar structural changes."

Jack Dorsey, after cutting 40% of Block

Companies attributed 180,000 job cuts to AI in 2025 alone yet most AI initiatives haven't delivered measurable returns. The market doesn't reward hiring. It rewards headcount reduction. AI isn't replacing workers because it works. It's the excuse.

layoffhedge is the record. Every pink slip is a catalyst. Every earnings call is a countdown. 58% of companies plan more layoffs in 2026. The avalanche has started.
