"Quiet Layoffs" are the new "Quiet Quitting", I told CNN. Tech giants are demanding employees return to office or resign... in hopes many will voluntarily quit to reduce severance payoffs and bad PR. AI is another big driver of mass layoffs

Tech giants are retooling to bring in experts on new ChatGPT-style LLM technology, and are cutting teams building with old techniques. AI automation is starting to cause layoffs too by letting fewer people get more done, even if employers don't realize it. 70% of surveyed professionals said they were using AI tools but not telling their bosses.

But at least access to AI jobs is democratizing. Our firm SignalFire's research found a 50% drop in the percentage of AI hires with PhDs or Ivy League schooling, with hirers preferring applied work experience. I bet we'll see more job interviews include homework projects using the hirer's actual software stack instead of resumé screens and theoretical questions.
