Why do industry titans all seem to announce lay-offs at the same time?

850 viewsEconomicsOther

I know lay-offs seem to be happening a lot, especially in tech right now, and can happen at any point – but just this month there has been Microsoft, Discord, Twitch, Google and RIOT lay-offs to name a few, and I’m sure many others.

Unless it’s just coincidence, why do these lay-off announcements seem to be like a chain reaction? I’m guessing that there must be economical reasons as to why, such as boosting numbers before a certain reporting season? Or is it just to stay competitive in terms of profit margins?

CEOs are giant pussies and don’t think for themselves or do anything novel.

Perfect example: one CEO decides return to office or else and every other dipshit CEO does it.

This is no different.
