It had clearly been just a matter of time before silliness like quiet quitting crashed into the reality of loud layoffs.  A generation of tech workers grew up pampered with yoga rooms and in office baristas.  The smart ones saved aggressively for when not if the party ended.  Many others obviously didn't.  I think regardless of how you feel about Elon Musk the fact he could layoff 3/4 of Twitter employees and the platform is stable should give you an idea of just how fat the tech industry has been running for the last decade or more.  And maybe this will give employees a bit more perspective about trying to tell your bosses at Netflix what they can show or your bosses at Microsoft whether they can do legitimate work for the Department of Defense.
