TechCrunch's tracker counts 267 events affecting 185,894 workers, with big cuts at Oracle (~30K) and Meta (~8K). Yet engineering roles are the most resilient, down just 11% against a 25% overall hiring drop, and engineers are 55% of new tech hires. The signal: AI is compressing headcount broadly while keeping demand for the people who orchestrate it. Which is the whole thesis, and also cold comfort if you're in one of the other 44%.
