Shownotes Transcript

Twitter cut its workforce by around 50%, Meta by 13%, Intercom also by 13% and Amazon looks set to lower its headcount by 3% this week. These are just some of the cuts that are happening - but the key question is - is this a correction due to over-hiring during the pandemic or is there something else at play?

Joining Joe Lynam and Jess Kelly on this special show looking at Ireland's technology sector is the former Tánaiste Frances Fitzgerald who is now an MEP and based in Brussels, Daryl Hanberry is the Technology Partner with Deloitte and serial entrepreneur DC Calahane from Dog Labs and Republic of Cork.
