Well all the numbers I've ever seen have been just shy of 80, and 8/80 = 10%, which is 2 digits. So there are two possibilities. One possibility, I guess, is that both your and parent are using some sort of counting system we'll call "base b" where 25 base b = 80 base 10 and in which 8/80 base b < 10% base b. The other, more likely, possibility is that you're intentionally under-stating the scale of the layoffs and being oddly defensive.

Enjoy your Salesforce stock grant, I guess ;-)

The base b here would be base 37.5 :)
