Every day thereโs more big job cuts at tech and games companies. Iโve 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?

Definitely agree it's not an Illuminati cabal meeting in hoods and masks.
But it's not not that either - there's lots of overlap on boards of directors and VCs invested in these companies. They're in the same circles and probably play golf together. Or, they hang out on the tarmac before their Davos keynotes on saving the world.
I live in Silicon Valley and I've heard that there's a WhatsApp group with a bunch of "big tech" CEOs and CTOs in it and they chat and share memes with each other ๐
