On April 23, 2026, Meta announced the layoff of approximately 8,000 employees, accounting for 10% of its total workforce, and halted hiring for 6,000 open positions. Simultaneously, it introduced a new AI model, Muse Spark, marking a strategic shift from the metaverse business to generative AI. On the same day, Microsoft offered a voluntary exit plan to approximately 7% (around 8,750 people) of its senior employees across the United States, targeting those whose combined years of service and age reached 70 or more. These two tech giants collectively cut around 20,000 positions within seven days, reflecting a shift in demand among tech companies for talent with specialized AI skills. Companies are now redirecting traditional roles toward individuals who can collaborate with AI systems and possess new capability models.
