#3Feels like we are about to get a new wave of large layoffs. Things like Intel last week and Berkshire Hathaway sells off... Brace for impact!

#4hey the economy is doing great, what you are feeling is a "vibecession". Don't look at the hundreds of thousands of tech employees fired in the past 2 years.

I kind of wish they did both... percentages are more helpful in understanding the impact (in this case to the company). But you're right in the case of layoffs a count is more meaningful... although i'd argue whether it's 1 or more the impact to the individual is the same and usually very negative.

#6Layoffs lead to payoffs. Sorry for those of us who are not within a position of power and are affected by this. It's just another part of the neverending parabolic cycle..

Dell stock is currently down 3.68% today and has had no movement from the layoff announcement.

Note that these are layoffs not firings. The fault is with the employer, not the employee, and exit packages generally reflect this.

Tech hired way more than any other sector during the pandemic, and is now reverting to the mean. It sucks for us but means little about the broader economy.
