   Expedia Group filed a Washington WARN on September 21 for 58 roles at its Seattle HQ (separations Nov 21 - Dec 1), its second 2026 round after ~162 in January. About 71% sat in two functions: 22 in finance/tax/audit and 19 in data science, alongside software engineers and some senior roles. Leaders tied the shake-up to AI in an internal memo, saying AI has 'radically changed what's possible' and lets the company shift to smaller, faster teams; execs cited AI advances for streamlining product and technology. Logged mixed: company-stated AI enabler plus finance/back-office consolidation.
