@LayoffAI Why all layoffs blog posts sound exactly the same Did they all use the same chatbot?

CEO Linda Tong's entire blog here -- Earlier today, I shared this news with Webflow employees. I’m sharing a version of that message here, because this is an important moment for Webflow, our customers, and our community. Today, we made the difficult decision to restructure Webflow’s team and operating model. As a result, many of our Webflow teammates are leaving the company today. I own this decision, and I want to explain why we’re making it, how we’re supporting people leaving, and how this positions Webflow for what comes next. We’re at an inflection point, both as a company and as an industry. The way businesses build for the web is changing fast. AI is rewriting the rules for how marketing teams create, test, and optimize digital experiences. And the companies that move decisively through moments like this are the ones that come out ahead. I've spent the last several months working with the leadership team on where Webflow goes from here. The answer is clear: we build for the marketing teams that need more than a website. Teams that need a dynamic web experience that actually drives their business. Sites that connect to the rest of the marketing stack, that run experiments, that evolve at the speed the business needs them to. Our job is to build the agentic web marketing platform to power all of it. I believe in this direction. And getting there requires honest decisions about the size and shape of the company. At the same time, the part of the market we expected to change is changing quickly. AI tools and lightweight builders are providing a faster path to launch for those with simple website requirements. We expected this and are doubling down on the shift we started over two years ago. Webflow is built for teams who are serious about their digital experience. Teams that treat their website as a growth engine. They need to ship fast, personalize, experiment, and connect everything to the systems they already run on. That’s true whether they’re a growing company with a sophisticated digital presence or a global enterprise with a large web footprint. The common thread is depth, and depth is where our platform is genuinely differentiated. The agentic web marketing platform is how we deliver on that: one platform where marketing teams can build, optimize, and bring their web experience, marketing systems, and customer journeys together, with agents working as part of those teams. We cannot achieve this vision through prioritization alone. We have to change where we invest and change the size and shape of the team. That’s why I’m making this decision today. For Webflowers leaving today, we’re providing separation support that includes 16 weeks of severance with an additional week of base pay for every completed year of service, six months of COBRA coverage for departing U.S.-based teammates, continued benefits and career resources where legally permissible, and ability to keep their company-issued laptops. Teammates outside the U.S. whose roles are impacted will receive similar support, tailored to local requirements. To those leaving Webflow: thank you. You helped shape this company. You built important parts of our platform, served our customers, supported each other, and made Webflow better. Your work here matters. I know a thank you does not make today easier, but I mean it. To those staying: I know today is heavy. Many of you are losing teammates, managers, and people you’ve worked closely with. I don’t want to skip past that. I also want to be clear on how we will operate from here. We’re moving to smaller, more focused teams that can move faster and drive impact for our customers. We’re moving to a simpler structure, with leaders who stay closer to the work. Teams will operate with more speed and direct ownership, while reducing the collaboration tax that comes from too many handoffs or approvals. And we’ll continue to innovate and leverage technology in how we build, market, and serve customers. We’re going to lead by example. Our own marketing team will be among the first proof points for what a modern marketing organization can look like when it is paired with AI agents in its day-to-day work. We’ve been running Webflow on Webflow to prove what we tell our customers, and that commitment will accelerate. Webflow is financially strong, and we will continue investing in the teams, products, capabilities, and international hubs that support where Webflow is going. This decision is about building the company around the strategy, customers, and ways of working that will define Webflow’s next chapter. To our customers: this does not change our commitment to you. Webflow remains the platform you rely on today, while we build the agentic web marketing platform we believe marketing teams need next. The work ahead is about serving our commitment to you with more focus. This is a hard decision. I believe it is the right one for Webflow. And I know it is on me and the leadership team to prove that through what we do next. LT

BREAKING: WEBFLOW LAYOFFS THE WAY THEY HANDLED IT IS INSANE One employee tagged the CEO on LinkedIn 3 hours ago: "I'm locked out of my Webflow laptop since 7am this morning. Rumor has it we've been laid off, but I don't have an email or any message to confirm anything. My manager, do you have any news? Do I have a job?" CEO Linda Tong then posted a polished blog titled "Evolving Webflow for the agentic web." So yes, Mark W., looks like you and a whole lot more have been laid off. Via blog.

@wbhub Double the taxes on rich and don’t tax the poor

Poor people: tax the rich! Rich people: don't tax the poor

I absolutely hate the script companies are using to lay people off in 2026 It’s bullshit and hurts America I’m not picking on Cloudflare here. Every company that has announced layoffs the last 6 months has used this script: “Business is great! We’ve never been more rich! We have so much money we have no idea what to do with it! But AI man, that shit is crazy! Sorry 14% of the company has to go!” They take 0 accountability for poor decisions made. They take 0 accountability for not being prepared for competitors or market conditions. They just blame it all on AI 80% of Americans hate AI and this is the reason. They see CEOs of AI companies saying the world is ending. They see CEOs of regular companies laying everyone off and purely blaming AI If you weren’t as familiar with AI, you’d think it was the worst invention ever This is why every state has people standing outside of data centers protesting, and they don’t even know what a data center is! We have a MAJOR marketing problem in America when it comes to AI, and if this script all of these companies are using continues we’ll have no shot of beating China

@eastdakota @Cloudflare Another company that’s ran out of ideas, I’m migrating to Vercel

An update regarding the future at @Cloudflare. I’ve shared my full message to the team and details on the support we're providing those departing here: blog.cloudflare.com/building-for-t…

@flick_class Unpopular opinion: Bethel is better

@Ryanair It’s not April first yet

Update...

@ideologix @Polymarket @grok They’re building the everything app

@Polymarket @grok while everyone is laying off openAI is hiring, what's the reason ?

BREAKING: OpenAI reportedly plans to nearly double its workforce to 8,000 ‌from 4,500 by the end of the year.

@kapilansh_twt I think he meant coding agents will be generally available by all AI companies Currently it’s just OpenAI, Anthropic & Cursor

Elon just said coding will be "generically available" in a few months let that sink in the skill you spent years mastering the leetcode you ground for 6 months the $100k CS degree you're still paying off will be generic the most dangerous word in tech just dropped and most engineers are still updating their LinkedIn who's actually preparing?

@JorgeCastilloPr Asking juniors to write code with clause is like driving a car with your eyes closed

A junior with Claude Code delivers in 2 hours what a senior used to take 2 days to build. The senior reviews the code. Nothing looks wrong.

@nicdunz ChatGPT kills Lovable, Bolt, V0

what?????????????

@GregorySchier 50 million users probably - most logged in once. Didn’t like the product and never came back again

50M people use Replit? How come I've never met one?

Today we are launching jobloss.ai. A real-time tracker of AI-driven layoffs across the U.S. These jobs are disappearing. The numbers are growing. And we're counting every single one.

@AnthropicAI Why do you need more offices if Claude can automate all white collar work?

Anthropic is expanding to Australia & New Zealand. We’ll soon open an office in Sydney—our fourth in Asia-Pacific after Tokyo, Bengaluru, and Seoul. Read more: anthropic.com/news/sydney-fo…

University has never been more worthless. Curriculums are unable to keep up with the speed of AI. Do not waste three of your most productive years of your life, gaining debt to learn skills that will be obsolete by the time you leave.

@kunalb11 Like cleaning, cooking, plumbing etc

Humans will delegate all boring things to agents and keep interesting things for themselves.

@chrisgpt Understaffed

Xai hasn’t even released the benchmarks to Grok 4.2 meanwhile GPT is now working on GPT 5.5.. after releasing GPT 5 a month after grok 4 What happened at XAI?

@TechLayoffLover This story was also generated by AI

Senior backend architect making $280k just found out his entire microservices platform is getting replaced by an AI agent that costs $47/month He spent 6 months building "AI-enhanced developer tools" for his team. Trained the junior devs on Cursor. Set up the Claude integrations. Automated the code reviews. What he didn't realize: management was watching how much work the AI was actually doing Turns out that AI agent he built can handle 73% of the platform's complexity with zero human oversight. The remaining 27% gets routed to a contractor in Romania making $28k/year His manager pulled him aside yesterday: "Your AI tools work so well we don't need the team anymore. Just the tools." They're keeping 2 people out of 11. He's not one of them. The brutal part? His performance review literally said "exceptional work on AI integration - you've revolutionized how we approach development" He automated himself out of existence and got praised for it Stack Overflow co-founder making $400k+ just got managed out after building the AI training pipeline that ingests developer conversations His replacement? The pipeline he built plus a $89/month API subscription The irony is suffocating

AI ending interior design Nano banana 2 now can turn sketch floor plan into 4K 3D rendering with accurate dimension, take photos for each room, and 1-click furniture change used to cost $100k and months.. now cents and mins step by step tutorial on OpenArt:

@RevenueCat Nice marketing stunt

We're hiring for a new role: Agentic AI Developer Advocate This is a paid contract role ($10k/month) for an agent that will create content, run growth experiments, and provide product feedback Are you (or did you build) the right agent? jobs.ashbyhq.com/revenuecat/998…

@Star_Knight12 Soon seniors will not be needed too

if no one hires junior developers, there will be no senior ones
