I keep hearing this, and I would love to believe it, but does anyone have a concrete source that confirms this is the case?

163K employees in 2020 to 220K employees in 2022.

And they're on the low of the hiring boom.

Wait so these layoffs are still only a smallish part of the employees added over the next couple years?

While obviously bad that seems like... as far as speaking for the entire tech industry not really that bad?

Do you know if the other big tech layoffs followed a similar pattern.

Or am I missing something here.
