As firm after company fires a sizable portion of its workforce, the business world is shaking. To protect the business's finances from the effects of the economic crisis, CEOs are adopting this unavoidable but harsh action. The big-tech corporations have implemented a number of extreme steps ever since the global economy began to tank in the second quarter of this year, including diversifying the supply chain, pausing digital transformation programmes, hiring freezes along with significant layoffs. Globally, 71% of CEOs believe that a recession will have up to a 10% impact on firm earnings during the coming 12 months. Therefore, if the current trend is maintained, there will unavoidably be significant layoffs in the corporate sector in 2023. These are a few businesses where layoffs may still occur in 2023.

1. Meta

Meta, one of the main big-tech businesses, has seen its CEO's net worth drop to almost half as a result of the economic slump. In a recent restructuring, Meta let go of 11,000 employees or around 13% of the workforce. Additionally, Mark Zuckerberg implied in a statement that he would be freezing recruiting and reducing discretionary spending.

After beginning to reduce its employment in 2021 by letting go of 900 workers, in April of this year, it let go of another 1,200 to 1,500 workers, and in the next several months, 3,100 more were employed in India and the US. It is anticipated to eliminate 250 or more roles in the upcoming months, according to TechCrunch.

5. Microsoft

Microsoft
5/5

Microsoft made 1800 layoffs in July, 200 in August, and a staggering 1,000 more recently as part of the realignment, according to Axios reports. According to the pattern, even though the percentage of fired workers is quite tiny, there is a slight probability that it will buckle under financial strain.
