Remember that Biden-appointed FTC chair is going after tech unlike her predecessors AND with vigor. While there are temporary benefits in their stock value, they are mainly working to discipline labor and crush union conversation with these layoffs. With that same action though, they are also looking to raise unemployment going into the US election year to hurt Biden and send a signal.
