Story notes

• Chime: Laid off ~150 employees (10%) on 2026-07-31, attributing cuts to AI efficiency — part of a broader fintech wave (Coinbase 14%, Visa 7%, Block 40%).
• Nubank: Ended five-year remote-first policy in November 2025; fired 12 employees "for cause" after internal backlash at an all-hands RTO meeting; investing R$2.5B in offices.
• Perplexity AI: CEO Aravind Srinivas publicly offered to replace striking NYT Tech Guild workers with AI during a November 2024 labor action — widely condemned as strikebreaking.
• Hugging Face: Cut ~10 people (4% of staff) from its Expert Support Program GTM team in February 2025 amid challenges monetizing its open-source platform.
