In 2022, Rishabh Mishra joined a high-ranking engineering college in India’s Jabalpur with the most predictable dream in global tech: study computer science, write code, and one day make it to Silicon Valley.

Three years later, Mishra faces a sobering reality.

Artificial intelligence has gutted entry-level roles in the tech industry that Mishra and his classmates were counting on. Among his 400 classmates at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, fewer than 25% have secured job offers. His course ends in May 2026, and there’s a sense of panic on the campus.

Layoff announcements used to boost stock prices. Not anymore says Goldman Sachs | FortuneFortuneAnalysts ran the numbers and found a surprising change in how investors are reacting to layoff announcements.

There used to be two types of layoffs: Those that investors cheered, and those that they panned. The first category—which involved the announcement of some sort of strategic restructuring—have long been associated with a pop in the stock. Meanwhile if the layoffs were due to declining sales and rising costs, investors would sell.

But recently Goldman Sachs’ analysts have picked up on a new twist.

“Linking recent layoff announcements to public companies’ earnings reports and stock market data, we find that the recent increase in layoff announcements came mainly from companies that attributed their layoffs to benign factors, such as restructuring driven by automation and technological advancements.” But instead of going up, these stocks fell by an average of 2%. And companies that cited restructurings were punished even more harshly. As the analysts wrote, “This suggests that, despite the benign justifications offered, the equity market has perceived recent layoff announcements as a negative signal about these companies’ prospects.”

Work-from-office mandate? Expect top talent turnover, culture rot
CIO.com

Work-from-office mandates are accelerating as the world moves further away from the COVID-19 pandemic, but the push toward in-person work environments will make it more difficult for IT leaders to retain and recruit staff, some experts say.

Over the past year, many companies, including IT giants Amazon and Microsoft, have required employees to work from the office, with many other organizations mandating on-site work in previous years.

Nearly half of all workers, and nearly two-thirds of IT professionals, were feeling pressure from their employers to work from the office as of early 2025, according to the 2025 Technology at Work Report, released by IT security firm Ivanti.

Advocates of in-person work expect increased productivity and improved collaboration as employees work from the office, although several studies have suggested that workers can be just as productive when working remotely, and employment experts say collaboration gains can be difficult to measure.

There is value in cross-functional teams working together in person, says Lawrence Wolfe, CTO at marketing firm Converge. “When teams meet for architecture sessions, design sprints, or incident response, the pace of progress, as well as the level of clarity, may increase simply because being in-person caters to the way most people in the business interact,” he says.

However, there are potential downsides for IT leaders, with strict work-from-office policies making it more difficult to attract and retain top IT talent. “In addition to resistance, there would also be the risk of talent turnover,” Wolfe adds. “The truth is, both physical and virtual collaboration provide tremendous value.”

Study confirms experience beats youthful enthusiasmwww.theregister.com: Research shows productivity and judgment peak decades after graduation

A growing body of research continues to show that older workers are generally more productive than younger employees.

Annie Coleman, founder of consultancy RealiseLongevity, analyzed the data and highlighted a 2025 study finding peak performance occurs between the ages of 55-60.

Writing in the Stanford Center on Longevity blog, she cited research examining 16 cognitive markers that confirm that although processing speed declines after early adulthood, other dimensions improve, and overall cognition peaks near retirement age.

Studies from the past 15 years show that some qualities like vigilance may worsen with age alongside processing speed, but others improve, including the ability to avoid distractions and accumulated knowledge.

Employers to job seekers: Your AI résumé isn’t fooling anyoneYahoo NewsAs part of a job search, outsourcing and offshoring company Oceans asked candidates to make a video answering one question: What is your most controversial personal conviction about the workplace? The...

The company received more than 300 responses and most of them were eerily similar.

“It was abundantly clear it was [artificial intelligence],” Matt Wallaert, Oceans’ chief experience officer, said of the repeated answers, which also followed the same structure. It was like “you did the laziest possible … you failed the basic task of sharing your personal beliefs.”

The situation left Wallaert and the hiring team bewildered on how to evaluate the candidates, as even some of the most qualified blended together.
