Corporate greed is the new normal, keep cutting workers blame it on economy. Reality all companies extremely profitable it’s just not enough. AI is their hope to replace us all!! Tech companies selling them pipe dreams!!

People who downvote common sense replies that are citing facts are pathetic.

Wayfair admitted that the 100% remote workers were much more likely to be cut.
Easy to cut anyone who is sight unseen.
Easy come, easy go.
There’s a common thread running through all of these corporate tactics.

Would be interesting to see the proportion of those laid off that work remotely. Want to bet more than 50%?
