The Scoop #5: Return to the Office and SO Jobs Shutting Down

Below inflation raises, return to office, continuing tech layoffs, and more.

The Scoop is a bonus series, covering patterns and trends I've heard within big tech and high-growth startups.

Today’s issue covers:

• Annual salary raises below inflation are starting to happen and, predictably, attrition follows.

• Big Tech starts return to office announcements. They seem to mean it this time. But why is Amazon missing from return to office news?

• Stack Overflow Jobs is shutting down in a few weeks. It was the job board with the highest ROI. What alternatives are left?

• Tech jobs fleeing Russia. How will this impact the market?

• Continuing layoffs: Better.com let go of 3,000 employees, though barely anyone working in tech impacted. Can we expect more layoffs to come?
