Yikes, this sucks.

It is ironic that Cloudflare is letting go 1100 of employees, while roughly 6-7 months ago, they were aiming to hire 1111 interns.

They're still keeping the interns. Feels very much like a 'replacement'.
Am I math-ing right that this creates a 1:4 employee to intern ratio? (5000 x 20% layoffs = 1000 redundancies; 4000 employees and 1000 interns?)
The 1111 interns are spread throughout the year, so this summer there will be about 500 interns among 4000 employees.
