I watched a video a few months ago of a guy who works in the tech industry. He has friends in these companies and said that they were looking through employees records and noticing a lot of dead weight (people who don't actually do any work). He said that by the end of 2022 these companies would be firing them. The articles about the supposed losses is probably an excuse to not get sued.
@DasSauerkraut @Aether at the end of the day these people are self-interested and will do anything to save themselves
