Microsoft laid off approximately 9,100 employees, particularly affecting the gaming sector, despite plans to invest $80 billion in AI-related data centers. Following the layoffs, Xbox executive Matt Turnbull shared advice on using AI tools to help cope with job loss, which was viewed as insensitive due to its timing. The backlash on social media indicated that while AI can be beneficial, sensitivity from leadership regarding employee job security is crucial, especially since many workers fear losing their jobs to AI.

41% of employees are afraid of losing their jobs to AI. The onus is on leaders to ensure they aren't making employees feel obsolete, insignificant, or unseen.
