💔 What This Means for Workers

1. Rapid, widespread impact
   This isn’t a one-off event—it’s structural. Roles across industries are being eliminated at a daily pace.
2. Shift in corporate priorities
   Organizations are reallocating labor from legacy roles to invest heavily in AI engineering, infrastructure, and research.
3. Entry-level positions at risk
   Junior and support roles are often first on the chopping block. Without them, career pipelines narrow dramatically.
4. Human cost hidden
   Headlines about layoffs obscure the personal disruptions: careers derailed, families stressed, livelihoods shaken.

🛡️ HFA’s Human-First Position

The Humans First Alliance believes that job losses can’t just be ‘efficiency statistics’—we must focus on the lived experiences behind them.

• We collect stories
  We want to hear from those affected: developers, support staff, marketers—anyone impacted by AI-driven cuts.
• We reclaim the narrative
  These layoffs are not neutral. They’re deliberate shifts in how businesses allocate work—and they have real human consequences.
• We push for protections
  We advocate for mandatory AI impact assessments before mass layoffs, transparent planning, and funded transition supports.
