Bryan Cantrill, Adam Leventhal, and Steve Sitak discuss the recent wave of tech layoffs, contrasting the humane approach of Stripe with the chaotic and inhumane execution at Twitter under Elon Musk. They share personal experiences from Sun Microsystems, Joyent, and Delphix, highlighting the importance of transparency, decent treatment of employees, and the specific vulnerabilities of visa holders. The conversation also touches on the broader economic implications, including the potential collapse of online advertising and the need for regulatory frameworks to protect workers.

    BONUS - EMS & The Economist - Episode 3, April 2023 with Marco Annunziata

    Economist Marco Annunziata joins host Philip Stoten to analyze the EMS industry's economic landscape, discussing the fallout from Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse failures, the persistence of inflation, and the shift to higher interest rates. They explore the paradox of tech layoffs versus manufacturing talent shortages, attributing the latter to decades of offshoring and a lack of local talent pipelines. Annunziata applies 'ecosystemic' thinking to supply chain resilience, arguing that while government interventions like the CHIPS Act have limited impact, the long-term trend is toward strategic localization and self-reliance rather than pure protectionism.
