Is it me or are tons of companies laying off tons of workers lately?

"Nobody wants to work!" Fuck off with that bullshit

Nobody wants to hire. Nobody wants to pay their workers. Nobody wants to give their workers respect.

That is the truth.

Tech companies (which are overrepresented in the reddit hivemind), which overexpanded based on access to cheap credit and people being at home and not being able to spend their money on IRL stuff. Those times have ended, and so the companies are all cutting back. But other areas that got reduced during the pandemic are expanding still (leisure and hospitality, healthcare, construction, education). . The US added 225,000 more jobs last month.
