Looks like someone has resurrected F*cked Company :-) Brings back interesting memories of the period from 2000 to 2002.

Yeah my point is we are going into a recession and it is going to get ugly.

Good for you that you are so sure. Now you can short some stocks and make easy money. Boy is this not financial advice...

Amazon is down 30%, and the sorts of tech companies that will be populating this list are already down anywhere from 50% to 90%. However, the biggest pain to come is private market startups. An easy call to make, simply because you can't directly profit from it, which lets the inefficiency persist. For now.

More interested in how it works than what it does later with that mechanism.

Also, this is great but it'd be helpful to add "employees hired" (not necessarily by the same companies that are laying off) since March 2020 too to calculate the net impact instead of having a linear metric that just grows.

Does the rise in the layoff chart mean that it is now harder to raise money? If yes, then to what extent?

Some VCs are telling their companies to not expect to raise another round in 2022.

Wow, is it that bad? Cause all you hear is mostly large rounds floating around everywhere. Especially for web3 these days.

Deutsche Bank already made it very clear that according to their analysts there will be a significant recession in the US this or next year

Also because there's a meaningful difference between 100 net layoffs when it means "1 hired and 101 laid off" or "9900 hired and 10000 laid off."
