Indirect layoffs are coming. For example, if you are working for a technology company that is servicing Halliburton, who just laid off 5,000 workers, then there's a chance that Halliburton might decide to cancel that fancy new React project they contracted out to you.

Now, if your company's main client is Halliburton, then layoffs are coming for you next, maybe.

Another question is like, how POS providers like Toast, Clover, Upserve etc stay in business when their main client base are closed right now potentially even forever?

I've heard that Toast has let go 100 something new hires that were about to start there before their first day.
Sorry to hear it!!

I have a friend at a very small POS shop that just announced they are closing the whole company even.
