In the wake of widespread layoffs in the tech industry, a new trend has emerged where individuals, dubbed 'layoff influencers,' are openly discussing their experiences of being let go. This shift marks a departure from the past when losing a job was often considered shameful. These influencers are using social media platforms to share their stories, offering a candid look at the realities of job loss. The phenomenon is part of a broader movement where professionals are also engaging in 'quiet quitting'—a strategy where employees do the bare minimum at work when promotions are not forthcoming or when roles are not backfilled.
