That's why I think the hiring freeze that took place at FAANG is the right approach. Companies should not play with people, and it reflects poorly on the decision makers.

Seems like they wanted to participate in the copycat layoffs but didn't have enough staff they could let go (sorry for the joke in bad taste).

But seriously now: this only goes to show how those layoffs are about companies fucking up, rather than about people. Laying off people who just got hired is amateur hour.
