Editorial note
A late-January 2026 WARN filing showed Expedia cutting 162 jobs, mostly product and technology roles at its Seattle headquarters, effective in April. Expedia framed the move generically, saying it was "simplifying our structure and reducing organizational layers" and reassessing needed skills. Coverage tied the cuts to the company's broader AI pivot, but Expedia did not name AI as the cause — hence Reported.
