Is it just me or are we starting to see the first signs of mass lay-offs in tech? Mozilla, now DigitalOcean, I feel like we're starting to see the first bleeding cuts of the recession take hold.
And I just got my life together, too.
- tjr225 7y agoHuh? There have been tons of layoffs in tech in the past year or two. If this were what you consider the start then I suspect you haven't been looking close enough. Spending your time trying to correlate every event to something larger is only going to make you crazy. We work in a volatile and rapidly changing sector of the economy.
- axaxs 7y agoI wouldn't worry about it. Last time there was a pullback that I can remember, every other day it was HUGE companies(think MS, IBM, HP, etc) laying off tens of thousands of people. These are two relatively small companies, in challenging sectors, laying off a relatively small amount of people. Don't worry yourself making more of it than it is right now.
- roguecoder 7y agoIt is January: layoffs often cluster during January. I'm not yet seeing a flood of candidates for our open roles, so I'm not worried.
- xenihn 7y agoUber layoffs last year were the first big tech ones I think.
