Anonymized quotes from reports
“37 years old, legal translator. AI is destroying the field. Writing, proofreading, languages, and communication skills are completely useless in todays labor market. Tried learning to code but too many people doing the same. Worst moment of career.”
“Snowflake Inc. laid off their entire 70-person documentation team, reportedly replaced with AI. Reported by a fellow tech writer on Reddit.”
“One of thousands laid off from Amazon/AWS. Many from the Technical Content Experience (TCX) org. They gave AI tools, trained staff to use them, told them it would make life easier, and still let them go. Corporate leadership doesnt care that AI cant do everything writers do or that quality is worse.”
