Polymarket Sets 67% Odds on 2026 Tech Layoff Rise as Meta Morale Hits Historic Lows

BeInCrypto
Polymarket traders predict a 67% chance that U.S. tech layoffs will increase in 2026, amid declining morale and job cuts at Meta.

Summary

Polymarket traders are assigning a 67% probability that total U.S. tech sector layoffs in 2026 will exceed 2025 levels. This sentiment is fueled by internal turmoil at Meta, where employee morale has reached historic lows ahead of an upcoming reduction of approximately 8,000 roles. While Meta reported strong first-quarter revenue, the company is facing internal pushback regarding AI-driven workplace monitoring and significant capital expenditure increases, reflecting a broader trend of restructuring and workforce anxiety across the tech industry.
