Tech hiring winter in full swing.
It’s bad
Elon Musk started this shit with firing at Twitter... Then Meta and then everyone jumped onto that bandwagon as an excuse that if everyone is doing it, they won't be singled out as the bad guys!

Genuine q: how does these layoff improve these company’s balance sheets? I mean cost saving will be minuscule as compared to overall yearly revenue, isn’t it ?

But 5-6% attrition will happen anyway in a year. Just stop hiring and workforce count will decrease by this much %. Why layoffs then?
Affected number, and affected Product areas and functions for countries outside the US haven’t been decided yet
