In the year 2020, when the whole world was coming under the grip of the Corona epidemic, around the same time the cryptocurrency market started showing a boom. Companies working in the field of crypto were constantly increasing their employees. But, as soon as the prices of digital currencies started falling in the market, companies started laying off employees to reduce their expenses.
The condition of the companies became so bad that instead of adopting the standard procedure for retrenchment, many companies have issued information about the eviction of their workers on social media itself. Companies like BlockFi and Crypto.com have done the same.
