It also tracks who is most affected by age, grade, and protected status so the next reorganization can be read as more than headcount.

AI Layoffs Statistics
AI startup layoffs in 2024 reached at least 20,000 in the AI sector, even as some high profile names avoided major cuts, creating a sharp split between “still hiring” narratives and actual staffing reality.

Productivity And Laziness Statistics
Productivity is rising painfully slowly, with global growth at just 1.3% annually over the last decade, while everyday workplace reality is bleeding it away through stress, health loss, and distraction.
