Every day thereβs more big job cuts at tech and games companies. Iβve not seen anything explaining why they all seam to be at once like this. Is it coincidence or is there something driving all the job cuts?

Weirdly, my first thought was eggs as in trans people who don't know it yet. I really didn't expect eggs in the literal meaning in that sentence...
Is that a real metaphor that people use? I've never heard of it referring to trans people before. But that's not my community.
Yeah! We use it to lovingly refer to those of us who haven't come out to ourselves yet. Their shells haven't cracked yet.
The memes out of egg_irl are pretty fire if queer memes are your thing
I'm a cis-(mostly)het guy and absolutely agree. I get a special kind of joy from people discovering themselves and being accepted.

Yes it is. For example, /r/egg_irl was a fairly popular subreddit.
