It's cyclical and very well understood at this point.
A business will hire a bunch of people to meet demand and then lay them off to make the company's earnings look better the following quarter.
At this point, I have no sympathy for anyone targeted by these layoffs if they work for a company that has been known to do them. Real 'leopards ate my face', vibes.
