It’s no new finding that many companies have been hit hard by lockdowns and movement limitations enacted to contain the coronavirus pandemic, and the tech industry has been no exception. Enacted lockdowns and movement curtailments mean companies whose business centers on day-to-day activities such as transport, travel, and retail have been seriously affected. To contain business slowdowns, companies have had to resort to sizeable layoffs and furloughs. To give a few examples, corporate travel startup TripActions laid off more than 300 persons not too long ago; Kabbage, a SoftBank-backed small business lender recently furloughed the majority of its employees; Fitness startup ClassPass has confirmed that it’ll cut slightly more than half of its headcount after a 95% revenue dip.
