https://techcrunch.com/2022/05/06/startup-tech-layoffs-in-may/?msclkid=e74f305fcfd111eca056203003f4fe8b

Over the past week, we’ve witnessed an alarming amount of layoffs across the startup ecosystem, from buzzy, big names like Cameo, On Deck and Robinhood, to B2B platforms like Workrise and Thrasio. The common thread between most of these layoffs, according to founders, is that there’s been a shift in the market and a serious pivot in business is required. A pivot, that is, that hurts the employees that built your product up after high demand.

A pullback has been in the cards for months. It first impacted public tech companies and then slowly trickled down to late-stage deals and even their well funded early-stage counterparts. In February, Hopin cut 12% of staff, citing a goal of more sustainable growth, while April included Workrise cutting staff and verticals despite a $2.9 billion valuation.

Now feels like an inflection point, in which tech unicorns are realizing that they may have overpromised a growth trajectory, over-hired or overestimated their ability to raise that next round. They aren’t alluding to the market changing, they’re blaming it. The irony here is tough: The same workforces that helped companies meet a boom in pandemic demand are the same workforces on the chopping block when trends change.

Below, we’ve listed which companies announced layoffs this week to underscore the unfortunate, albeit growing, trend.

high labor/output demand drives job growth; contracting demand results in job cuts. o what irony!

All of these seem appropriate even without a recession. You’re telling me that Shopify has been going this hard for this long and hasn’t missed on 1/10 hires? I worked at and with tons of these companies and they would all basically not change at all if they removed 15% of their workforce. So many email jobs.

I don’t think we can say for sure until the fall but so far it seems like a pretty soft landing for tech. There were so many silly companies that just proclaimed themselves to be SaaS and raked in investment capital, but it seems like a lot of the leaders were vets of the dotcom era and knew better than to blow it all on foosball tables and kegs at happy hour. It was also a somewhat clever gambit to make people accept “400k all in” that was 200k in actual salary and then 200k in RSUs that are now worth 50k and a discretionary cash bonus.

The reality is there’s nowhere else for the money to go. Two years ago there was real estate but lol at that now. It’s like tech and bankers formed a suicide pact so you have to fall a lot farther than this for the bankers to bail and start burning it all down.

so far, the layoffs haven't included people who actually build things like engineers or product people. they mostly cover recruiting and some small percentage of low performers across other functions. simultaneously, hiring has slowed quite a lot. this says companies think they have enough people to get things done and they don't need to expand significantly. it's taken pressure off of increasing wages so they may level off over the coming months.

if a true recession hits, there could be real and significant layoffs and huge downward wage pressure.

wages for these makework positions have also grown to near-engineer levels at many companies because they were so flush with "cash" (investor $$$ or inflated stock prices depending on size) the policy was basically throwing money in every direction to satisfy even the most minor "our work is equally as valuable" quibbles.
