Every Number Went Up This Week. Nobody Felt Better. | Paper Cut

Jobless claims fell. AI adoption climbed. Job applications are up. On paper, this was a good week. Then Nike, Workday and Citi all confirmed job cuts, a lawsuit alleged Ford disguised layoffs as poor performance, and tech-sector layoffs rose 77% in a single month. This week's Paper Cut looks at the gap between what the data says and what the week actually felt like.

In this week's Paper Cut:

- Nike, Workday and Citi all cutting jobs, even as layoff data eases

- Why AI adoption keeps climbing while AI transformation stalls

- A lawsuit alleging Ford used performance reviews to disguise layoffs

- LinkedIn's CEO on a hiring market drowning in AI-written applications

- The "two-job job": 61% of workers now doing more than one role
