Carly and Malvina are joined by Tom Cheriyan to talk about the topic of "Laid Off Enablement".

As inflation, supply-chain problems, and geopolitical turmoil curb revenue growth for tech companies, they have resorted to reducing headcount—some with massive layoffs—to bolster their balance sheets.

Tech companies as big as Netflix have slashed jobs this year, with some citing the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and others pointing to overhiring during periods of rapid growth.

Silicon Valley giants who’d spent the last decade growing accustomed to progressively prosperous quarterly results have been forced to take a butcher knife to their headcount. For some, this was the first time they’ve ever had to cut staff. 

Enablement can also be on the chopping block... and on this episode we talk specifically around "laid off enablement" with Tom.
