TikTok’s corporate “day in the life” vlogs are looking grim after big tech layoffs. Work vlogs showing off company perks and romanticizing commutes were once an uplifting and aspirational part of #CorporateTok, but now the content talks more about unemployment and labor rights than fun office quirks. The genre of work content is known for showing off hustle culture and viewers loved watching “catered lunches, campus gym facilities and sponsored happy hours.” But since tech giants have been laying off workers by the thousands over the last several months, laid-off workers are being transparent online about the harsh realities, ultimately slashing the seemingly glamorous lifestyle.
