Actually even this is wrong. Every laid off employee with a LinkedIn account that changed their employer on LinkedIn. I typically am not in a hurry to change mine.

Waiting 2-3 months to see if new job is a good fit is usually a smart move.

I don't know if people are still doing the /r/overemployed thing, but I imagine you aren't in a hurry to change it if you are.

It's also possible that the recently-laid off are settling for lower salaries but more employers to make up for it

I guess now managers would be way less willing to accept underperformance though... and more picky on recruitment.

The analysis is full of bad assumptions. For example, the section titled "Top Impacted Countries" is completely off: the article was written in Feb 2023 and in most countries the layoffs hadn't even begun back then (in a bunch of countries, including a couple "analysed" in the article, the layoffs are still to take place as I'm writing this).
