I have a meeting today. Scheduled very late night. 90% chance being cut. I will come back to update if it's true. People in US already were told to retire if they can. Being in Tech or in low cost center does not save you.

Block’s layoff news today is pretty fascinating. Jack Dorsey just cut nearly half the company — over 4,000 employees. Headcount goes from 10k+ to under 6k. Stock? Up 25% in a day. And here’s the interesting part: They’re not losing money. Q4... — read more 

It's been scary quiet regarding layoff impact in NYC. Anyone care to share any insight into the matter?
