    Some of the companies that pay the most are the same ones doing the layoffs, like Google.

    Trading up for money could add extra risk exposure to layoffs.

    But if every job change is seen as a pay raise opportunity, I guess layoffs are speeding the process along for you.

      AFAICT, lay-offs are pretty widespread. Sometimes the bigger employers just give the smaller ones “permission” first.

        I haven’t heard of any smaller companies in my network doing layoffs, but I’m sure there are some out there.

          Yea interesting. I have no numbers and I’m not really “plugged in” at all … but I’ve certainly heard of smaller places doing layoffs after Google etc. No idea how widespread that is though.
