“Cisco to lay off 4,000 jobs to focus on AI and cybersecurity”
Cisco will cut about 4,000 employees in a second round of redundancies to redirect resources to AI and cyber‑security projects. The company had already shed a similar number of workers earlier in the year.
“Fiverr to cut 250 jobs as part of AI‑focused reorganization”

This is just the beginning.
The more big companies let go of their tech teams under the illusion that AI can replace them, the more those people need protection. At Venture Crush, we’re making sure the talent behind innovation isn’t lost to automation. If you know a developer or techie displaced by AI - send them our way.
We’ll help them find their next match.
