And my car isn't an accurate reflection of a helicopter. Neither of them are purporting to be something they're not.

More to the point, tracking "tech layoffs within non-tech companies" is impossible with public data because that information is rarely broken out.

I don’t disagree, all I was doing was reminding people it doesn’t show the whole picture.

Things are worse than many think.

Which begs the question, what is a tech company anymore or a non-tech company?

Aside from the fact that they use technology (but everyone uses technology), ebay is not a tech company. They don't sell technology product.
