They cited a number of factors, including excessive recruiting, hazy global macroeconomic circumstances, the Covid-19 pandemic’s tremendous tailwinds, and more, as increasing numbers of Big Tech businesses continued to lay off people. According to reports, the third round of job cuts at Meta (previously Facebook) will begin with the layoff of more workers the following week.

Even though the precise number has not been determined, it is anticipated that the company would let go of about 6,000 workers in this round. This month, Amazon India fired off between 400 and 500 workers from its AWS cloud division, People Experience and Technology Solutions (PXT), or HR and support verticals. Zepz, a unicorn in the fintech industry, is letting go of 420 employees or 26% of its workforce.

By the end of the decade, the UK’s largest telecom company, BT Group, aims to reduce 55,000 employment, a staggering number. Global telecom company Vodafone announced its intention to cut 11,000 positions over the following three years in order to “simplify” both corporate operations and regional markets. Microsoft will not be increasing salaries for any staff this year, including top leaders, as the financial situation around the world continues to plague Big Tech.
