Highest number of layoffs since Mar-2023

Amazon has already made clear of their intent to layoff more employees in 2023. This could be a huge stress signal for all of 2023. Amazon is the only company to probably admit it. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/business/amazon-layoffs-extend-2023-3082476

From October , layoffs have increased quite a bit. At least that's what I have been noticing. Personally, I have also been affected and looking for job opportunities since this month. Do you think number of layoffs have increased or flattened?

What are your predictions for 2023?

If you follow layoffs.fyi, you can see the number of layoffs happened in Jan 24 is closed to Mar 23. It’s almost been 1.5 yrs since layoffs trend started. UK & Japan went to recession tomorrow.

Looks like job market is a bit more stable nowadays, first half of the year was all about layoffs, and pink slips. Post June while the layoff news is still coming in, it's not as frequent as earlier. Maybe no boom right now in job market but feel it's relatively more stable.

They fired almost 50% of the workforce Aug 2022: 20% Nov 2022: 22% Feb 2023: 7% Leaders lie about not having anymore layoffs and they also ensure that we can’t talk about layoffs if we want the severance via NDA.

To be very honest I feel very frustrated looking at the situation right now. Companies are laying off without worrying about the employees. It's just corporate profits everywhere. I am scared to death that my career won't last long than 20 years because the moment these folks think you are becoming a financial burden on them, they'll lay you off. I don't want to live my life in a constant war mode. The Indian education system has bruised my personality for a long time. I want to relax but looking at this battlefield I can never. My weekends are spent worrying about planning for finances in case I get laid off. I am worried I won't be able to buy a house. This shit is depressing me very much. Other folks please tell me how are you navigating this mess?

Will layoffs continue in 2025 also?
