Tech has failed to be a good employer; Layoffs are just one example

The economy went down? Yes. Did it affect all kinds of companies? Yes Did the banks fire any one? No Did the Railways fire anyone? No Did the media agencies fire anyone? No Did Large Tech companies and IT fire people? Absolutely yes Tech is the most ruthless-stupid sector that is so flimsy and short sighted that it doesn't care jack-shit about employees Tech companies will pay employees large salaries in a heartbeat, they'll hire 1000s of them and then fire 100s of them in a heartbeat destroying careers. Sigh!

New Meta layoffs

Looks like meta is going for 3rd or 4th ( honestly lost count) round of layoffs . Articles suggest that 5000 folks might be affected 😕 These are the world's largest tech companies and have billions in profits. How can they not know how many employees they need? And once the market opens next year again they will hire rapidly. Is apple the only top tech company that's hiring sensibly?

What triggered layoffs ?

Being an investor in equity markets, i was aware of the fact that US market will crash as the free money by fed draws back. I obviously was not able to link this up with the funding dry-ness. I still expect a founder to be aware of these economic events. I am curious how could the management decide to go for hiring employees only to lay them off a year later. If you are a founder, would be happy to know the other side of the story.
