  Tech giants like Microsoft, Amazon and Facebook may be laying off workers   by the thousands , but one organization is hiring: The US government plans to boost pay and expand remote work options, all to draw in more tech employees. The number of federal positions offering support for remote and telework choices has grown by almost 50% across the past two fiscal years. That expansion might continue in the near future. At the same time, however, it might be rolled back: House Republicans have just introduced a bill that, if passed, could force a return-to-the-office mandate for federal agencies.

  Tech layoffs were big news in 2022, and that's looking set to continue in 2023, too, with major companies like Amazon and Salesforce already slashing workforces. There weren't many major tech companies that escaped redundancies last year — Twitter, Tesla,  Shopify , Microsoft, and Netflix all cut staff, some of them more than once. We're keeping track of the notable layoffs in tech in 2023, as well as those that happened in 2022, so read on for a timeline of those companies that have been cutting staff.
