Mass Layoffs Continue in 2025 as Major Companies Restructure
The corporate layoff wave that started in 2022 isn’t over. In the first weeks of 2025, some of the world’s biggest companies like Meta, CNN, Microsoft, Adidas, Shell, Unilever, KLM, and more, have announced job cuts affecting thousands of workers.
