I doubt these are at all related to Twitter layoffs, we've been seeing announcements of layoffs from tech companies a few times a week for a few weeks now.

I think the point is about the timing of the announcement. I could see it landing a little softer when people are talking about the Twitter stuff.

On the other hand, big companies do this all the time and get a little bad press and then move on with their lives.

If they did they'd have pushed to Friday evening or Monday.

I think once the layoffs started companies began to follow suit. There's a serious herd mentality that's hard to avoid.

There's no way that they planned a layoff within a week. They take much longer to plan and execute.

Def, I meant more moving up the timeline to get it into this new cycle.

There’s no way these people chat in a Signal chat group?

It’s funny how people on a technology forum discount other normal humans also using technology

I mean Musk’s Twitter texts just revealed they do exactly that.

I suspect we'll see more of these in the coming weeks as companies go through planning for next year.

More likely in response to the interest rate raise. Effectively the leathal injection to the tech sector.
