Most firms over hired over the last 2-3 years. This is a modest correction especially for the Patagonia vest crowd (big tech unicorn firms). If someone got let go from Google, meta , amz ,msft then they are clearly talented enough to get a new role anywhere. I do feel bad but they are going to be fine. Also, this barely affects macro labor and employment metrics btw. The idea is to bring down costs to show better profits. Then re-hire. Just see what MSFT has done. The media said they let go of a massive part of their workforce. When in fact they are actually still net positive in hires.
