Tech Workers React to Ongoing Industry Layoffs With Shock Nearly 8,000 tech and biotech workers have lost their jobs at companies including Meta, Oracle, Twitter, Lyft, Roku, Seagate, PayPal and GoFundMe in layoffs big enough to trigger regulatory notification.Less than a year ago on the networking platform LinkedIn, he’d expressed excitement over his new job as an engineering manager at robot-vehicle company Nuro.“It looks like no matter where I was, I would’ve gotten laid off.” Many newly unemployed workers face competition for jobs unlike anything they’ve experienced.“You don’t know if a human even looked at your resumé that you spent three hours updating to show that you’re a really good fit for that role.” Laid-off workers are now competing for jobs against friends and co-workers who are also newly unemployed.The ongoing job cuts in the tech industry add a dose of uncertainty to employment searches, Lynch said, and raise a question not relevant in better times: “Will this job even be here when I get to the final round of interviews?” Lynch said he finds himself feeling shame over losing his job, even though he knows there’s no reason for it amid an epidemic of layoffs, adding to the stress of job hunting and his family’s loss of income."
