Tech Layoffs-Master of Your Destiny

Salesforce just laid off 8000, Amazon laid off 17000… Meta, Twitter, Stripe and many more companies have also laid off employees. It reminds me of 2001 and 2008, when we saw a similar situation unfold.

Having been through many of these cycles, over time I have built a cautious paranoia related to “when will the next downturn happen”, as well as specific activities that I take in order to be more in control if/when those downturns occur. Like everyone else, I want to be in control of my professional journey and not be surprised by changes inflicted by others.
