This is the best summary I could come up with:

Mark Zuckerberg has a theory for why tech layoffs aren’t slowing down: Companies are realizing that, while painful, there are benefits to being “leaner.”

In an interview with Morning Brew Daily’s podcast published Friday, the Meta CEO said companies are still adjusting to the post-pandemic era.

But as people returned to stores and the economy adjusted, sales growth ebbed and ad rates came back to earth.

While a lot of tech companies were reluctant to make cuts at first, they realized it didn’t spell the end, Zuckerberg said.

“It was obviously really tough, we parted with a lot of talented people we cared about,” Zuckerberg said in the interview, speaking specifically about Meta’s past layoffs.

Since Meta cut tens of thousands of its staff starting with Zuckerberg’s “year of efficiency,” the company has been making a comeback, with its stock at an all-time high.
