When I see people explaining recent mass layoffs as "CEOs going with the flow", it really seems the case for companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Salesforce, etc. But Alphabet and Meta seems to be in a different class. Both have too many people to justify the number of services they have that generate profit. Although I can't see them disappear in the near future, it seems that they can work just fine with 1/3 of the headcount they have now, which is somewhat scaring for the IT job market in the next years.
