party and layoffs

The private concert wouldn’t have mattered much if the same company hadn’t announced the next day that over 10,000 workers would lose their jobs at the company.

Layoffs and more layoffs

Current downsizing Microsoftwhich accounts for 5% of the entire current workforce, is one of the last tech giants in the world.

Meta, the parent company of the social networks Facebook and Instagram, laid off more than 11,000 employees in November 2022.

Amazon, however, is the country with the most layoffs, with 18,000 people.

These companies experienced a big economic boom in the early years of the pandemic, but fears of a possible recession and the consequences of this period led to a decrease in annual revenue.
