Internet showers advice to Intuit employee as he was “hired to fire”

The U.S. tech industry is in the throes of yet another layoff wave, with over 50,000 jobs axed in early 2025 alone. Giants like Microsoft, Meta, CrowdStrike, and Block have all slashed headcounts, citing AI disruptions, cost-cutting, and federal downsizing, according to layoff tracker Layoffs.fyi. Microsoft, in particular, recently announced one of its biggest cuts since 2023—nearly 6,000 employees—despite posting strong profits. In the midst of this crisis, a deeply personal post by a young Intuit employee has struck a chord online. The tech worker, an immigrant and recent graduate, shared his story.
