The world of IT companies is undergoing a significant turnaround. As a result, more than 100,000 employees have been laid off at more than 300 companies, including 18,000 at Amazon, 12,000 at Google, 11,000 at Microsoft, and others.
Amazon — 18 000
Google — 12 000
Meta — 11 000
Microsoft — 10 000
Salesforce — 8 000
Dell — 6 650
Philips — 6 000
Booking․com — 4375
Cisco — 4100
Philips — 4000
Apple — 0
However, despite this, last year Microsoft hired 40,000 employees, Google 30,000, Meta 16,000, and so on. Those numbers indicate that despite layoffs in IT — the growth trend so far is positive for large companies. What cannot be said about smaller companies like Twitter, PaisaBazaar, Toast — which have laid off more than 50% of their employees.
