Introduction

Jack Kelly and Rick Chen break down Alphabet's layoff of 12,000 people worldwide. We compare and contrast the job cuts at Google's parent company with others this month, including Meta, Microsoft, Salesforce and more. We explore whether Google and Microsoft played follow-the-leader with their job cuts and if this means a recession is likely. Jack and Rick also react to how professionals reacted to the news on Blind today. Finally, we share some lessons about what you can do if you have been laid off and why the job market isn't as bad as you might think.
