    TLDR

    Michael Wolfe, a startup coach, observed that the California WARN Act mandates public disclosures for company layoffs exceeding a certain threshold. This requirement ensures layoffs receive media attention, as an AI could even track and report on these filings. However, he noted that thousands of companies adding jobs receive no coverage, with attention limited to a handful of large layoffs instead.

    @michaelrwolfeThe California WARN Act requires public disclosures when a company lays off over a certain threshold. So layoffs always get media coverage - literally an AI could follow the public disclosures and post articles covering them. But *nobody* covers the thousands of companies who are adding jobs, only the handful of large companies who are shedding them. Which is just another example of how the media skews negative. It's doom and gloom when Uber drops 3K jobs, but zero interest when a bunch of AI startups add 10K jobs. https://www.sfgate.com/tech/article/uber-layoffs-22415310.php
