How Big Tech is using mass layoffs the media to bring workers to heel.

There have been like 80,000 layoffs, that is nothing. There are 10 million job openings right now. The media is hyping layoffs to make it seem like workers are at risk.

The media has really been pushing the corporate agenda hard and it's embarrassingly transparent.

Social Media is only amplifying the message. So many tech subs are parroting the same buzz words we see in headlines.

Meanwhile the comments are mostly "glad im safe" and "my employer has plenty of openings still"

How many of those jobs can match the salaries that these tech companies had? Tech hiring largely froze last summer. Sure, developers will find other jobs, but there are many people who will struggle to replicate what they had.
