becoming? They have been common for the past 25 years.

10,000 fewer jobs means 10,000 fewer jobs

No because the reporting is only on the layoffs they wont cover the hiring that will happen next month. These tech companies dont lay off people then operate with 10,000 less staff. Meta's employee count has increased every year except the year after covid.

They can’t report on hiring that doesn’t happen. They will not be adding these jobs back next month lmao

you think by the end of the year Meta will have 10,000 less employees than it did at the start? I dont think thats likely. They will either increase employee count or slightly reduce due to how cooked the economy is but they will hire back a majority of those 10,000 jobs.

No, I think it will have even less.
