It’s true that many tech companies have layoffs or had them recently, including my employer. However, that’s not a new phenomenon. I’m in IT since 35 years and saw layoffs and close monitoring of individual successes of employees happening a couple of times in our industry caused by economic slowdowns for various reasons. I would call it a normal behavior but not a good one, missing corporate responsibility and long-term action. My grandfather built up his own company, and throughout his life his self-image as an entrepreneur was that he was responsible for the responsible growth of his company in good economic times and for his employees in difficult times, and therefore made provisions in good times so that he could still keep and pay his employees in bad times. I grew up with this attitude, but unfortunately you hardly find it nowadays, as almost all big companies are run only by salaried managers who have no personal relationship and responsibility for the company but are only focused on optimising profits and making as much money as possible, and ignore entrepreneurial responsibility.
Perhaps Clavia is different in that it is owner-managed, which is why they have a relatively small staff, but can get them through difficult times - who knows?
