Isn’t he the same guy who said folks have too much money. And it’s causing inflation. So they planned to cause chaos.
He actually argued that there wasn't too much circulating during the pandemic and kind of lagged behind inflation indicators, but this is good news:

Crazy about these layoffs, but the stock prices have been boosting the last month if you've been watching.

Have a feeling big tech job market will bounce back sooner than later. Get those skills built.
Numbers are pretty much just going back to pre-covid staffing levels. Some of these companies hired like 30-40k ppl during covid, no cap.
Total recent layoffs is still under 100k iirc in an industry that still forecasts needing millions more employees over the next decade. They literally have to ship workers in to do the work the demand is so high. Long term the industry will be fine, especially for experienced people

It looks like the boom times are over for investment banking, and big layoffs are back on Wall Street. The news of Goldman Sachs laying off 3,200 well-paid, white-collar workers sheds light on the challenging environment on Wall Street. Declines in initial public offerings, mergers and acquisitions and deal-making have caused a drop in revenue. Global IPO activity fell 45% year-over-year, according to data from Ernst & Young.

Morgan Stanley announced around 1,600 job cuts. Citigroup let go of dozens of people within its investment banking division, as dealmaking continues to slow down. One of the largest money managers in the world, BlackRock, said it would lay off around 500 professionals. Coinbase, a publicly traded cryptocurrency exchange, is once again reducing headcount, slashing 950 positions, in its third round of layoffs within a year. Bank of New York Mellon, one of the oldest financial institutions in America, has plans to cut about 3% of its workforce, representing about 1,500 jobs.

another thing to consider is that when interest rates start going up and operating lines of credit were being renewed woth banks and lenders, these tech companies that grew with 0% interest really felt the impact of higher borrowing rates. These layoffs were expected imo and more to come.

Jan 31 (Reuters) - PayPal Holdings Inc (PYPL.O) said on Tuesday it is planning to cut 7% of its workforce, or about 2,000 employees, the latest in a list of fintech firms to be hit by the economic slowdown.

The payments firm also joins Big Tech firms and Wall Street titans, which are executing layoffs across corporate America as companies look to rein in costs to ride out the downturn.



Super dirty work going on
