Did these companies accelerate planned layoffs because they figure Twitter layoffs on Friday would help take the spotlight off of them?
- bombcar 4y agoIf they did they'd have pushed to Friday evening or Monday. I think once the layoffs started companies began to follow suit. There's a serious herd mentality that's hard to avoid.
- dotnet00 4y agoI doubt these are at all related to Twitter layoffs, we've been seeing announcements of layoffs from tech companies a few times a week for a few weeks now.
- nkozyra 4y agoI think the point is about the timing of the announcement. I could see it landing a little softer when people are talking about the Twitter stuff. On the other hand, big companies do this all the time and get a little bad press and then move on with their lives.
- vecter 4y agoThere's no way that they planned a layoff within a week. They take much longer to plan and execute.
- tqi 4y agoDef, I meant more moving up the timeline to get it into this new cycle.
- gryBrd1987 4y agoThere’s no way these people chat in a Signal chat group? It’s funny how people on a technology forum discount other normal humans also using technology I mean Musk’s Twitter texts just revealed they do exactly that.
- eclipticplane 4y agoI suspect we'll see more of these in the coming weeks as companies go through planning for next year.
- shaburn 4y agoMore likely in response to the interest rate raise. Effectively the leathal injection to the tech sector.
