I’m deeply sorry to hear of so many layoffs in the industry recently, especially so close to Christmas. This newsletter gets shared for free every Wednesday, so please do feel free to share with those you feel might find it of use.
I’ve shared posts on social media too, so please consider retweeting my tweet or reposting on Bluesky.
