It's no secret that the global tech sector was marked by a rigorous wave of job cuts last year, and some of the biggest names in tech have continued to lay off thousands of workers into 2023, including Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Zoom. 

Layoffs also impacted many Toronto-based tech companies and startups, including Properly, TealBook, Swift Medical, and Koho, with CEOs attributing the downturn to market pressures, rising interest rates, inflation, and the state of the fundraising market.
