None of these massive FAANG companies are anywhere near crashing.
You could just instigate a hiring freeze and let natural attrition run its course.
But that would involve having some balls and managing a business in a way that is good for everyone.
Literally no thought is given to redeploying the labor force against the new set of projects. Just cut and rehire. It’s the ultimate short-termism, lack of vision and lack of leadership. Ironically all of these companies blather on about leadership but fail to even demonstrate a scintilla of it. Leadership just means “plays political game competently” at these companies.
