Reply to comment by FreezingRobot in Meta's 'year of efficiency' continues, thousands more expected to be laid off by chrisdh79

Aside from the one-off person here and there, isn't it odd that these companies that layoff so many people... especially in those fields... we don't see more of them bitching about being let go online?

It's kind of like the numbers are like Hindenberg. All show.

Wut these people HAVE been bitching online in their communities, they’ve also been job hunting like crazy, LinkedIn is full of people looking for referrals.

There’s also the fact that tech workers who got laid off from meta are usually pretty skilled and a lot of smaller companies snap them up (at lower comp), so they’re not starved for choice like layoffs in other industries… the demand for software engineers is still pretty high
