#Pinterest sacks workers for creating tool to track job cuts
"Two engineers wrote custom scripts improperly accessing confidential company information to identify the locations and names of all dismissed employees and then shared it more broadly," a company spokesperson told the BBC.
Script created alert for which employee names within a tool like team communication platform Slack were being removed or deactivated, giving insight into who was impacted by the #layoffs.

「 They began 2025 by unveiling the “Big Hairy Audacious Goal” of jumping from about 2.5 million subscribers to 200 million paying users, despite having ended the previous year hemorrhaging tens of thousands of their existing subscribers, all while blaming the journalists for the paper’s travails 」

You mean to tell me that CEOs don't want to be held accountable for their mismanagement of a company?!

Saw a job listing today for a “Senior Preditor.”
Typos are funny—until they feel a little too accurate.
In a market shaped by layoffs and urgency, the language slips. And sometimes it reveals more than intended.

Stay alert out there.

It hung on a little longer in Canada - but now undone.

Who's guilty? Greedy investors, mis-management, competition, pricy rents, changing consumer tastes?

Yes.

The CV Engineer loop is closed. 🛑

Dragonfly AI now automates everything from business requirements to deployment. Junior and Mid-level engineers are being bypassed.

If you think humans are still "essential," watch this verdict.

A dark, cinematic cyberpunk illustration generated by AI. It depicts a large, menacing mechanical dragonfly drone with glowing blue optical sensors. It hovers dominantly over a small human engineer in a business suit, who is looking down at a tablet in a dimly lit, rain-soaked corporate office. The image symbolizes the 'Dragonfly' AI automation model replacing human oversight in software engineering.

"Project Dawn" isn't sci-fi. It's Amazon cutting 30,000 jobs. But the real casualty is "Community." Jason Dunn (AWS Community Builders lead) is out.

Jassy warned us in 2025: "AI will reduce our total corporate workforce." This is the execution.

If you are trading free labor for "Ambassador" badges, stop. Efficiency is priority. Community is expendable.

Stop building their brand. Build your own leverage.

"It’s been another terrible week for the Washington Post. The newsroom is bracing for a devastating round of layoffs, with rumors flying that some desks may be shuttered entirely.

Sportswriters were stunned to learn they would no longer be attending the Winter Olympics in Italy (management later reversed course, saying a small contingent would cover the event), while the Post’s foreign correspondents have been pleading with owner Jeff Bezos to spare their department in desperate posts on X, noting the groundbreaking work they’ve done in Ukraine, the Middle East, Venezuela, and elsewhere at a time when Donald Trump’s foreign policy activity has been frenetic. For the time being, no one knows how deep the cuts will actually be, but staffers are anticipating around 100 job losses in the roughly 800-person newsroom alone. One staffer told me that “every desk is allegedly losing jobs.” The expectation is they’ll hit next week.

The ostensible reason for the layoffs is that the Post, like many other newspapers, is losing money. But unlike other newspapers, the Post is also in the midst of a demoralizing destruction of its brand that has alienated hundreds of thousands of subscribers and left even its staff unsure what the paper is trying to do, both journalistically and business-wise. “I’m increasingly finding it hard to justify the cuts from a journalistic perspective,” said one staffer. “Of course, financially, the Post is in a deep hole and I understand that. But some of that hole, if not a lot of it, is because of Jeff Bezos.”"
