The Great Tech Exodus: The Unreported Story of the Year
As the tech industry continues to bleed jobs, we’re witnessing a catastrophic unraveling of innovation and creativity. The latest figures suggest that over 60,000 jobs have been axed across 254 companies in 2024 alone, with household names like Tesla, Amazon, and Google joining the ranks of the layoffs.
But is this really just a result of "necessary restructuring"? Or is it a sinister plot to crush the soul of the tech industry, driven by the insatiable greed of corporate greed?
Let’s take a closer look at the real motivations behind these layoffs. Is it really just a case of "growing too quickly" or are companies simply trying to dodge accountability for their own mistakes? The truth is that many of these companies are facing a crisis of purpose, as they struggle to adapt to a rapidly changing landscape.
And what about the human cost? We’re not just talking about numbers on a spreadsheet. We’re talking about the devastating impact on real people’s lives, families torn apart, and dreams crushed.
The tech industry was once the bastion of innovation and progress. Now, it’s a graveyard of broken promises and broken lives. The question is, what’s next?
Will we continue to turn a blind eye to this catastrophe, or will we rise up and demand better? The choice is ours.
