  1. **TLDR:**

    * **Middle managers in Big Tech, and now at Walmart, have faced major layoffs.**
    * **Recession fears and tariff uncertainty are driving companies to cut costs.**
    * **The trend, known as “The Great Flattening,” is spreading.**

  2. Weird to call it a flattening when a very small portion is rapidly going up, a middle finger would be a more accurate description, as the more remarkable change is middle class getting fucked.
