And whilst $10m sounds like a lot (and it is!) that's only about ~50 (Bay Area) employees.

Probably fewer than that. Cost of an employee to the company is on average 2x their salary. Plus such mass layoffs don't just target entry level employees but an entire vertical slice including senior ICs, managers and executives. A lot of them at companies like Salesforce, Google, Meta get $1M+/yr in comp.
