i would consider the layoffs in the second half of 2022 and first half of 2023 as the post pandemic layoffs

people spent a lot of time online and that led to increase in key metrics for most of the companies starting from startups in india to FANG everybody extrapolated this growth. but once the normalcy was back the projections didn't stand.

the slow down of growth could also have been because of the recession fears. but i somehow feel that even the recession itself was in way fuelled by pandemic.

the next inline for this will be post ai layoffs
