Every day there’s more big job cuts at tech and games companies. I’ve not seen anything explaining why they all seam to be at once like this. Is it coincidence or is there something driving all the job cuts?

Yeah, here in Germany, workers have stronger protections, laying them off isn’t as easy, and I feel like the layoff waves have largely not occurred here, because companies didn’t hire so much during the pandemic.
Which isn’t as large as the MS cuts coming today of course, but per the rumoured details (all managers and creative directors being safe) it seemed laying them off was easy enough.
That being said the rumours I’ve heard for the Swedish companies under MS have been largely spared, and there unionisation is of course relatively common.
