Thanks. Were most of those people in technical roles?
I see you mostly mentioned big tech corporations. What is the situation for it roles at non tech corporations and at middle and small tech companies?
Although those numbers you mentioned might sound bad, it is possible that those are the final numbers for lay offs for those companies and once they met the numbers they target and stabilize their financial situations, there won't be any more rounds of lay offs. They might even rehire some people if their economical status will improve.
Just tech companies. I don't think there are any stories on specifically how many technical people are being laid off, just overall numbers.
A couple of these stories I've seen suggested for some of these companies it's not all, or maybe even the majority, technical people (like it says 'layoffs were focused on X, Y, and Z departments', where it might have marketing or HR in there), but there's none I've found that has made it clear exactly how many people in technical roles.
