This episode is just a rant. Nearly a quarter of a million people have been laid off in the tech sector over the past 13 months. That is a large amount of social disruption that has largely been explained away as a result of macroeconomic factors and the reversing digital trends post-pandemic. There are a myriad of nuanced reasons that each company who used layoffs chose to do so. However, in my opinion, there is really only one underlying factor - bad leadership.
