The TechCrunch Top 3 - Even Amazon is not immune: Instead of "no shave November," we need a "no layoff November." Who's with me? Brian writes that following rumors of layoffs, Amazon started making them this week. He also has information from the company's hardware head, who was able to provide further details.
- Productivity nerds, assemble!: SigmaOS raised $4 million to develop a Mac browser where you can put your tabs in groups on the left side of the screen, Ivan writes.
- Ultimatums never work, right?: I guess we'll see. In Elon Musk's case, he reportedly sent a late-night email to Twitter workers posing sort of an "Eat Me," "Drink Me" situation related to their future employment at the social media giant, Amanda writes.

Big Tech Inc. Having been married for 20 years, I've completely avoided the whole online dating scene, but I have heard from friends that it's tough out there. Most people are looking for commitment, but hey it's 2022, and not everyone is ready for that. Hinge, which touts itself as "the dating app designed to be deleted," recognizes this and has added a new feature that makes it easier for those seeking non-monogamous relationships. Lauren has more. It is indeed the end of an era: Evernote, the note-taking and task management app, has agreed to be acquired by Bending Spoons, a company you probably just opened up a new tab to do a Google search on.
