    Why are people, who populate the mainstream forward edge of the tech to regain collective ownership of online public spaces, “obsessed” with tech company layoffs? Why are all of these people, maybe a majority of them currently or formerly employed by that industry, following that industry? Is that your question, friend?

        3 companies own everything. Small, decent teams get acquired by said garbage each day. Many individual workers don’t have the choice practically.

        I imagine you’ll grow some empathy when the VCs start to target what you do and acquire all the small-medium businesses in the ignorant asshole industry.

          having thousands of people competing

          Most of the time they’re not firing everyone from one department with one singular type of role

          Also, welcome to the job market? there’s plenty of people caught out in plenty of boom and bust cycle roles
