This Week in LinkedIn (Top 10 World of Work Posts - February 17, 2023)

Hello, citizens of LinkedInlandia. ??

We continue to see our LinkedIn feeds awash with layoff announcements. I've included a few angles on that below. You'll also find interesting takes on redeploying recruiting teams to avoid layoffs, McKinsey's new HR operating model, hilarious alternate takes on LinkedIn's #opentowork, Zoom's alumni list, and more.

I've also been researching layoffs for an editorial project.

Ever wonder what the typical profile of those laid off in 2022-2023 looks like? Me too. 365 Data Science has us covered in a recent data analysis examing layoffs since 2022.

I'm including some additional visuals from the report and layoffs.fyi at the bottom of the newsletter if you're curious.

Now, on to this week's posts...
