So your saying that at a bunch of publicly traded tech companies the csuite gathered in secret meetings and the conversation was?
CEO while shining his monocle: "what can we do to lower the fed interest rate?"
CFO: "We can fire a bunch of our employees"
CEO: "But Total nonfarm payroll employment rose by 517,000 in January even with all the tech layoffs. We wont even make a blip "

CEO: "You're right, lets do it!"
Head of HR: "I'm asking this question while sitting on stolen land. How does firing 7% of the poors sound?"
