What Rebound? Tech Firms Still Slashing Jobs
from the doesn't-look-good dept
If the economy is rebounding, no one seems to have told tech companies. They're still laying off people left and right, and some are afraid we're headed back into another recession. The overall rate of layoffs has slowed, but that's partly because there are only so many people you can actually lay off. If the tech companies saw the light at the end of the tunnel, they would likely try to hang onto workers a little longer, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
