Another tech bubble burst. Tech since the pandemic became way over inflated. My 10 year HS reunion during the pandemic was full of people that are morons with a computer suddenly telling me they’re in tech like me. This is a response.
Also, probably not coordinated as much as these companies might have a “no layoffs during the holidays.” My wife’s company has this policy (financial market) and during the last few years you could time them stopping layoffs and then starting them back up.
