Volkswagen and Uber cut over 100,000 jobs globally
🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
A chipmunk instinctively hoards only enough nuts for winter, but these corporate squirrels are caching nothing—just tossing 103,000 jobs into the hollow log of history.
💡 Why it matters
Mass layoffs at two global giants signal that even the biggest employers are straining under trade tariffs and Chinese competition, reshaping the job market for millions.
Volkswagen announced it will cut 100,000 jobs by 2030, representing 15% of its workforce, while Uber plans to eliminate 3,000 roles to streamline operations.
