Layoffs in Tech: it’s a bunch of crap.

The layoffs happening in tech over the past 6 months, and now, are a bunch of crap.

By “crap” I mean they are not actually “Necessary” as many company leaders claim.

Most of the companies announcing and executing on layoffs have reported “higher than expected earnings” for the year & recent quarters, and yet… they claim layoffs are required.

Well, hey, as long as they make a huge profit and the extremely wealthy get more of everyone else’s money!

So much for the idea of humane workplaces. People are still treated like replaceable objects.

Do not buy it. The layoffs aren’t needed. They’re just being greedy jerks.
