    COST-CUTTING measures by tech companies, including waves of layoffs, are shaking confidence in the sector.

    According to estimates, Chinese e-commerce group Alibaba and American semiconductor chip maker Intel have each let go of at least 20,000 employees so far this year due to slow growth.

    Mark Zuckerberg’s Meta, Jeff Bezos’ Amazon and Elon Musk’s Tesla have also been among the tech firms with mass layoffs, of over 10,000 staff each.
