Large technology companies won’t hesitate to layoff employees to protect their stock price.
I'm genuinely curious. Is there any other options? By this point it's too late, right? And even if they played it safe there is always some risk.
2. Public companies will cut the fat, cut “dream” projects, to protect their stock price. The further the money, the more risk to the employee.
3. Things could get a lot worse.

I'm butting in here because this struck a chord. There are lots of people of people out there running highly profitable (and globally well-known) businesses off of Excel sheets. They have identified that they don't want to do this anymore as these sheets have grown so monstrously complex over the years that the employees who have to use them are miserable. Basically there is lots of opportunity to start a tech compan…
It's not easy to find those excel users and ask them what they need.

Large profitable tech companies don’t lay off staff when they see opportunities to grow. I know that three of the Big 5 tech companies (FAANG - Netflix + Microsoft) are throwing money and headcount at cloud just from the aggressive recruitment I’m seeing - I work for one of the big 3 in the consulting department and I’m constantly getting solicitations from the other two. Apple also is still hiring where it sees grow…

The idea is that a central 1-click checkout provider will store your payment information, shipping address, and other details after the first time you use a site with their checkout. The next time you checkout on any website that uses the same 1-click checkout provider, they already have your information for “1-click” checkout. The investment thesis is that if 1-click checkout were to take off, it would become a winn…
PayPal has had this for a very, very long time. I use it all the time, and it works great. So what am I missing? I also have Apple Pay enabled. It works great as well. The use of hardware verification vs a browser redirect gives it some nice advantages. So what exactly is the differentiated experience I’m getting with Bolt?
I've stopped using the Paypal option even though I really want to use it, because it makes me uncomfortable providing my credit card information to so many sites. Not sure what's changed, it used to work quite well. My guess is either there's a bug on PayPal's side with my account, or the PayPal integration has gotten more complicated and many websites have not kept up with certain changes.

Toosh!

Remember that debt fuelled stock buybacks were a huge reason for propping up stock prices for these companies as well. Now that cheap debt is off the table, that buyback strategy will have diminishing impact as well, forcing companies to find other ways to keep stock up (such as cutting costs)
If they will fire 50%, will they expect that the remaining 50% will do the work of 100%? Can employees go on strike to prevent the layoffs?
