February Layoffs Hit Highest Since 2009, Echoing Dot-Com Crash

In February, layoffs rose to the highest level for any February since 2009, with the tech sector experiencing a significant number of job cuts, the highest since the dot-com crash. This surge in layoffs has been particularly impactful on Gen Z, who are finding unique ways to navigate through these challenging times. The situation has been described as having a 'sense of impending doom' among those laid off, reminiscent of the dot-com crash period. Despite the adversities, some young individuals are leveraging this experience for content creation, while also facing generational stereotypes in the workplace.
