Because they don't want to be 4th.

Layoff doesn't have to do with profitability. It has to do with shareholder expectations. During covid time, all tech companies assumed that tech market will keep growing faster & hired tons of workers. Now the market doesn't seem to be following what they were expected & they will miss their financial targets leading to wrath of shareholders. Hence doing the layoff. Also layoff rarely helps in decreasing expenses in the short term as in US severance etc is hefty. Tech companies are doing course correction for coming years.

Financial targets indirectly mean profit/revenue. This layoff would just be a micro dent on their finance (approx 2%). Unless they want to clear the people clutter in org, it doesn't make sense that they did it under financial pressure

There's always pressure from shareholders to show growth. With the market dropping, every company can cut costs and become more profitable. PE & activist investors were a primary market force that exist because operators don't run companies efficiently or to their potential. A lot of smaller SaaS companies which refuse to show prudance and cut costs are gonna get taken over by activist investors who'll then do lay offs and make a good buck.

I was laid off from big4 with stupid reason is that When I started my carrier I worked in startup in 2015 company now the company is redlisted 2024. With this reson there are saying your company is block listed. The main reason is there need to pay variable pay and 23-24 hike to escape. there are using many tricks to layoff the ppl without notice.

Layoffs

"If you have to conduct layoffs, which is always a regrettable thing, there's kind of three things that are very important. One is to communicate well with your employees in order to help them understand why it is you're doing, and how. Second is to make sure that the employees who are part of the go forward, understand kind of what happened and are not like the ground doesn't keep moving. It's like, okay, we did that, we're moving forward, here we go. And then for the employees that you unfortunately have to let go, try to provide as much support for them as possible." ~ Reid Hoffman
