The Changing Nature of Work with Increasing Layoffs
Quote from Ndubuisi Ekekwe on January 22, 2025, 5:58 PM
I expect the economy to have a great acceleration in Q1 and Q2 2025 anchored on Trump’s optimism and MAGA swagger. But I am also positing that by Q4 2027, there will be a calibration because the goodies in the capital market have gone for a really long time. Yes, this party cannot just continue forever!
Besides those economic readjustments, there is also the element of AI where in 2025, we expect the firing department to focus on the middle technical level as 2024 was for entry level workers. Stripe has opened the season with 300 workers going: “Stripe has announced plans to lay off 300 employees, representing approximately 3.5% of its global workforce.”
