Record Profits but Laying Off?

Imagine a company making more money than ever before, yet deciding to let go of thousands of employees. This is the reality for the semiconductor giant ASML. Despite record-breaking revenues of thirty-three billion euros, they are cutting seventeen hundred jobs. Why? They claim that 'too many managers' are slowing down innovation, with technical staff wasting nearly thirty percent of their time on meetings. It is a stark reminder of the difficult balance between corporate efficiency and job security. At the same time, the global economy is shifting. The US Dollar has dropped to its lowest level since 2021. President Donald Trump supports a weaker dollar to help exports, but this policy is driving gold prices to historic highs and making international markets volatile. The tech world is also at a crossroads. Companies like Meta and Tesla are shifting their entire focus toward Artificial Intelligence. Meta is cutting its virtual reality teams to fund AI, while Tesla is betting everything on Robotaxis despite a challenging year. Back in the Netherlands, families are feeling the pinch as gas prices surged thirty percent in a short period. From global tech shifts to the cost of heating our homes, these changes remind us that behind every economic statistic, there is a human story. We must look at these trends with empathy to understand their true impact on our lives. See you in the next news. Thank you.
