Because they can.
Because it always about profit. If big companies like Meta and Amazon can make more profit with fewer employees, they will.
This is silly circus shit. The answer will always be higher profits to pad their own compensation. We need to go back to 1950s income tax brackets where these clowns would be paying 90% on their bonuses.
Remember stories like this the next time you go on a rant how unfair China is.
Frog, meet scorpion.
Because congress will do nothing to stop any of them.
Can she make it where Facebook has some sort of actual useful support besides their useless AI?
Wipe out all the tax breaks for companies over a certain market cap or revenue level. Its obscene.
Because running a business.
Because they’re quarterly revenues have to go up every quarter to satisfy their shareholders. They will do that all the time because they have to. So it’s also absurd that we would give them money to help them do that when they are never out there to try to help build employment necessarily
Good question. Take away their tax perks.
People still use Facebook?
Admire Sen. Warren trying to make Big Tech and others accountable for layoffs because JOBS and inflation make up two major components of our economy. However, I don’t believe the tax cuts from The Beautiful Bill did anything but lower the corporate tax rate to 3.5%. Unfortunately, there was no socialist type clause that guaranteed workers their jobs. From the headlines that I read, Amazon is investing big in AI. The economy is reshaping around the synergy of AI by building data centers and further advancing cloud computing and services. Automation has all but eliminated the service industry (in the past). Curious what these companies say in their replies.
coz these big corpos wanna save every single PENNY!
I can’t wait for the fall of capitalism
The tax breaks were for job creation. The layoffs were for shareholder value. Apparently those come out of different budgets.
There needs to be a comprehensive set of laws that binds companies like this to a *duty to employ*. If you’re profitable, you should not be able to conduct layoffs for any reason.
H1B are still cheaper, you didn’t fix anything Mrs Warren.
Any company that has done layoffs in the past 24 months should be ineligable for H1B and/or any other kind of visas to bring in new workers.
