Cute how he keeps calling the people fired employees.

Pretty sure they’re not once you’ve fired them.

I’m sure he’s taking full responsibility going to sleep in his mansion tonight, with his big salary and bonuses, which will probably see a nice bump from this.

Why the hell do they have so many employees in the first place? You don’t need so many people for the few products they offer.

Money was cheap, so most tech firms overhired throughout the 2010s and into the first few years of this decade. Now that rates are higher we are seeing a market correction to the actual required workforce for the industry. I feel bad for the millions of tech workers trained and produced by programs for the last 15-20 years who will need to retrain in a new industry.
