which I reported on yesterday, now we have an absolute laundry list of companies that have laid off in Q4. I wonder if those people feel like they have the upper hand?

According to LinkedIn, December layoffs have included Wireless Advocates, Wells Fargo, CNN, Gannett, The Washington Post, BloomTech, and Podium. November layoffs included Pinterest, GRIN, Homesnap, Wells Fargo, Kraken, Wonder, DoorDash, AMC Networks, United Furniture Industries, Candy Digital, HP, Carvana, Cisco, Roku, Hopin, Morning Brew, Newsela, Amazon, Asana, Meta, Protocol, Illumina, Sema4, iFit, Juul, Barclay’s, Citigroup, CH Robinson, AvantStay, Flyhomes, Redfin, Salesforce, Sada, Zendesk, Twitter, Warner Bros, Affirm, Lyft, Chime, Stripe, Hootsuite, Opendoor, Oracle, and Gem.
