With companies undergoing mass layoffs and mass contracting, this is only going to continue to happen, and to get worse. Especially in the tech sector.
This is an example of a supply chain attack that those running companies… and ultimately those holding up entire economies, do not think about when making significant decisions around workforce and outsourcing.
