Hmm. Is sifted.eu trying to stir up something here? It is only a small number companies out of thousands of companies. Now if the companies were Addidas, BMW, or Aldi, then we should start to get worried.
Just preparing I guess. If you’re a startup and you start worrying by the time BMW is laying people off, you’ve started worrying too late to do anything about it. The time to act is now. That’s the point.
