Specifically, that all (most of) the companies doing layoffs (or RTO like Amazon, designed to force their high-agency folks to quit) hired like gangbusters during the pandemic is sick as shit. This is being spun as a great anti-worker effort, but these companies have been mindlessly attached to cycles of hiring-at-all-costs regardless of reason. There's some upside to that, yes, for the workers, but the tale of grimdark no-tech despair we are hearing right now are so so out of line versus reality. It's to all the fatcat's advantage to spin this as dark days for workers, but this massive massive reflexive over hiring was an unprecedented boom, which does not necessarily imply a a bust, especially when these companies so carelessly are willing to shed their known great talent to mobilize against workers.
