In such years as 2024 it’s worth to join crazy new ideas because some of them will grow a horn!

The tech layoffs are sweeping throught all the industries in the last years. It’s something hard to accommodate.

This article was brought to you, because people read the original on Medium.

The new reality is that companies layoff tens or hundreds of people while reporting top revenue at the same time. For example Microsoft reported 17% increase of revenue in the first quarter of 2024, while reportedly laying off 1900 Activision Blizzard and Xbox employees in January 2024.

Blizzard, the creators of Starcraft and Warcraft, affected by layoffs. Talented studio members will join other projects

The latest news that made it to the headlines is Google laying off its entire Python core team of around 200 people including 50 engineering positions.

Some, unconfirmed sources also say Flutter and Dart team members were laid off. But I can’t find good source for this information. That’s to be honest unlikely, because both are Google products.
