In partnership with

Victoria here, Girlboss’ executive editor. 👋

If you’re a person with an internet connection or access to the news, you’ve seen the headlines: Amazon is cutting about 14,000 jobs, UPS has eliminated 48,000 positions so far this year, Target plans to lay off around 1,000 employees and eliminate roughly 800 open roles, Paramount Skydance cut 1,000 jobs this week, and hundreds more layoffs are reportedly planned at Chegg (45% of its workforce) and Hootsuite (20% of its workforce). 😵‍💫
