There's a lot of fear mongering among engineers that layoffs are bad and somewhat that the demand is lower and salaries will drop. But most "tech workers" laid offs were in non-technical positions as well (ie not engineers). HR, recruiting, DEI... The percentage of engineers impacted was minimal.
Can't help but wonder who would benefit from this fear climate.
