Yes there have been post-Covid layoffs, but unemployment is 4.3%, roughly at the "full employment" level, and only up 1 point from the post-Covid low.

And we are only talking about 'the' layoffs here because a bunch of tech people got laid off. It wasn't anything special for the overall economy. Some industry or other is always laying people off, and others are hiring.
