Workers are workers. Even the most highly paid workers have more in common with the homeless than they do with capitalist class. Get laid off, maybe have a large medical bill, and then any worker could find themself desparate for just a roof over their head. So yeah, it sucks when these huge layoffs are happening, it sucks lot. The best thing that could come from this is for tech workers to realize how precarious their lives are and start standing in solidarity with other tech workers and workers generally. Don't try to drive a wedge between tech workers and other workers.

The working class and employing class have nothing in common.
