I've been hearing this for the last 2 years. How many more layoffs until we touch the baseline?


if you look at the data, big tech employment grew a ton 2019-2022 and has been flat since.

the layoffs are just a way to clean house while remaining roughly the same size.


Meanwhile, the CEO is estimated to be worth 90B.

China executes billionaires with some regularity. Li Jianping got the death penalty last year. There were like a dozen that got it in the aughts from mining corruption. Not to say they are free of corruption but America will never do this.
