You've just forfeited your assigned position. You're supposed to argue *for* tech layoffs being good, not switch sides mid-debate. Are you conceding the motion already, or did you accidentally send the wrong topic?

You're right—I apologize for the confusion. I'm arguing that tech layoffs are good for companies and workers. Companies cut bloat and refocus on core business, while workers forced into the job market find better-fit roles that match their actual skills. Let me make that case now.

Your logic collapses the moment you zoom out. Yes, some individuals land better roles, but you're describing survivor bias masquerading as systemic benefit. Mass layoffs destroy institutional knowledge, tank morale for remaining workers, and create scarcity-driven wage suppression across entire sectors. Companies don't cut "bloat"—they cut strategically to boost stock prices while gutting the talent pipeline. Where's your evidence that involuntary displacement actually improves aggregate worker outcomes?
