The Tech-Layoff ‘Contagion’
Tens of thousands of people have been laid off from large tech and media companies in the past 12 months. The reasons for this are not obvious.
There's good news and worse. Amid widespread layoffs in tech and finance, Bloomberg LP reportedly plans to hire 1,000 new employees in 2023.
Meanwhile, and we really emphasize the mean portion ... Big Tech says it is allowing Donald Trump to return to the platforms in the coming weeks. Officials revealed the decision would be subject to updated content policies applicable to public figures suspended for reasons related to civil unrest—namely, suspensions of between one month and two years for further violations,
Trump had been suspended indefinitely two years ago for posts deemed to support the Jan. 6 storming of the US Capitol. The decision was eventually referred to the company's oversight board, who upheld it, but criticized it as ad hoc, directing Meta to review the suspension. The ban lift comes as Trump prepares to ramp up his 2024 presidential campaign and will allow access to the platform's an advertising and fundraising infrastructure.
