https://www.siliconvalley.com/2023/03/17/opinion-cruel-big-tech-layoffs-will-prompt-more-quiet-quitting/ > As I walked to my car from class recently, I found myself experiencing déjà vu. A student in my MBA class at San Jose State University was distraught after being laid off from a Silicon Valley tech company in a Zoom call.  After working there for 17 years, she was instantaneously cut off from all connections at the company. > I saw the same level of shock, pain, anger and disbelief as I had witnessed in 2008. I was teaching in Chicago when a student in my MBA class shared that she and other employees had been given notice and instructed not to return to work until notified if they had a job. She sat in class preoccupied and stressed not knowing what was next for her family.
