There may be a recession incoming, likely actually, but tech companies laying off people is again indicative of nothing.

There is a massive shift happening right now in the tech industry. Apple as an example has laid off nobody. Microsoft has laid of thousands while investing billions in AI (including into jobs).

Investigate reporting into those laid off workers has revealed most get jobs somewhere else pretty quickly.

So is it indicative of an incoming recession, or just tech companies reorganizing and cutting staff after living the high life the past few years while profits were massive?
