Tech layoff support groups have emerged on LinkedIn as companies continue to cut jobs in the high-tech sector. Major companies such as Amazon, Xerox, Unity Software, DocuSign, Okta, eBay, and Snap Inc. have announced layoffs affecting hundreds of workers. In response, LinkedIn groups like the Tech League and Tech Layoff Resources, Job Opportunities and Candidates have formed to help affected workers network and find new roles. These groups provide a platform for cross-networking with competitors, sharing job opportunities, and offering support during a challenging time for the industry. The layoffs have hit roles in human resources, compliance, ethical AI, marketing, data center infrastructure, consulting, and sales. The regions most affected by job cuts include the U.S. West Coast, Australia, and New Zealand. The tech industry saw significant job cuts in 2023, with 135 tech companies laying off 33,874 employees, and the trend is expected to continue in 2024. The support groups aim to assist workers, particularly women and people of color, who have been disproportionately affected by the layoffs. They also highlight opportunities for reskilling in fields such as AI and emphasize that every company has technology-enabled roles.
