Barely in 2024, the week of January 8th saw layoffs across multiple tech companies: Google, Twitch, Discord, and Unity. To be sure...this is foreboding sign for 2024.
How did we get here? What happened from high flying, highly profitable tech companies that once touted that "they would be different" to becoming just like any other business?
In this episode, Rob and PJ discuss how any why why got here, what effects we think it is going to have on the tech industry, and, unfortunately, some of the areas where we think the layoffs are still yet to come.
Buckle up, folks...it is going to be a ride...
