Job losses in tech 32,000. It’s only February.

US data but you know what they say.

The USA sneezes. The rest of the world catches cold.

Only now the laid off 32,000 PLUS those globally with a compromised immune response can recover in bed on their laptop.

Busily planning their new startup in between cups of ginger tea.

There’s been a profound shift in how the newly unemployed respond — investigating, learning about, and starting new businesses and projects.

I wonder how many of the “recently let go” have consciously let go of future employment as an option?

Wait a minute.

Identify a business opportunity. To see if it’s got legs – get a domain name, a website, email address and a bunch of hustle

That took 1 day.

Day 2 and beyond? These 32,000 (+) were given a 1-sided hardcopy letter on way out the door that gave them financial data on their runway to fund their new business.

It’s not easy to succeed.

But the barrier to entry to trying has been eviscerated by the internet.
