I think this article ignores a lot of realities of the market to reach its conclusion. Many of these companies did record hiring during the pandemic while there stock values have plummeted and while we may not yet be in a recession its pretty clear one is coming. All these factors have investors worried and the reality is that public companies need to placate investors and layoffs are one tool in that toolbox. Do these companies want to "crush worker power"? Maybe but I don't think these layoffs are due that.
