“This has been our hardest year yet.”<\/b><\/p>\n

That was Canva CEO Melanie Perkins on 4th November, announcing cuts and role changes affecting about 22% of the company’s workforce, roughly 1,271 people (<\/span>TechCrunch<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Two days earlier, Squarespace had let go of nearly one in five employees. The week before that, it was Dropbox. Before that came eBay, Electronic Arts, Netflix, Amazon and HubSpot. And over all of it hangs Microsoft, which has cut more than 5,000 roles this year and has now offered exit packages to 60,000 more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through September alone, US tech companies announced 165,925 job cuts, 54% more than at the same point last year (<\/span>Fast Company<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n
