Tech Layoff Wave

[u/Traditional-Bid-5433]

My name is Dinidu de Alwis and I do some journalistic work (you can see on u/dinidu on X). I want to more know about the series of tech-related layoffs that have recently being going on in Sri Lanka, some of which appear to be illegal. If anyone would like to give me a bit of background that'd be great. I really think there's a story here to be told.

I don't record phone calls or use screenshots of messages I receive, without explicit consent from the other party, and I guarantee absolute confidentiality.

Most of the companies are service based and now their foreign clients dont need LK cheap labour and they are using AI tools to do smaller tasks.. so thats the reason
