Okay, I'm convinced something is happening in tech founder circles. They are intentionally downsizing. I don't know why yet. But this isn't coincidence. All these assholes are connected.

Highly probable theory. There are some others though. Like they are being tipped off to some shift in the market. Or they plan to rehire at lower salaries to reset the comp market. https://twitter.com/_breeeeen_/status/1387622795555885059?s=19

Notice how callous and cruel this is. Imagine being laid off and then your CEO goes on YouTube to tell everybody you were a drag on the company.

Again, there's a reason this is happening publicly. We're just not sure what it is yet.

Y'all think it's a game. It's not. If you are familiar with SV startup culture, you know that all of these folks talk to each other. They generally follow trends. Something is happening. https://twitter.com/newsycombinator/status/1387904806090596359?s=19
