Part 5/11:
While layoffs are ongoing, certain roles seem particularly vulnerable. Middle management and senior administrative positions—often characterized by bureaucratic overhead—are being targeted. Many of these roles lack the technical skills needed to adapt to AI-driven workflows and tend to be costly, slowing down project pipelines.
Additionally, employees in so-called "bench roles"—those not meeting billable hour quotas or actively engaged in projects—are also facing job cuts. These measures aim to streamline operations and focus resources on high-demand skill areas.
