Many companies,
especially those in tech,
are laying off
massive numbers of skilled employees.
Many of these companies
were already quite lean.
These employees were necessary
for the long term health
of the companies.
But, to appease shareholders,
the company can forgo their contributions
for the spring and summer.
Many of their salespeople,
for example,
were given incentives
to close deals
and renew existing customer contracts
early.
In the fall,
the companies will likely
rehire for many of the vacant positions.
But many of the employees
laid off now
will have to find new jobs
before that time.
NOW is the time
for smaller companies,
for start ups
to hire.
Take advantage
of that gap
between layoffs
and rehiring.
