This consistent pattern highlights the urgency of cost-cutting measures being implemented as the organization grapples with significant losses—amounting to $1.6 billion in the second quarter of 2024 and worsening to $16.6 billion the following quarter. The drastic reduction in workforce is part of a larger strategy aimed at restructuring and dealing with what can only be described as operational chaos.
