CNN —After years of seemingly unstoppable growth, the tech industry is now facing the “ultimate reality check” as it confronts broader economic uncertainty and waves of layoffs, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky told CNN on Thursday. Facebook-parent Meta said last week it was cutting 11,000 jobs after nearly doubling its staff during the pandemic.
