It’s a dark time to be a tech worker right now::Nearly 300,000 tech employees have been laid off since last year, data shows.

    There’s no evidence that the layoffs at these firms are actually tech workers.

        I’m trying to find where on the site where it tracks the type of employees laid off but it doesn’t seem to track that at all?

          For companies/employees that choose to share (eg in hopes of getting recruited to a new job) you can even get individuals information from that site. That includes actual job titles.

          These companies tend to be very light on administrative roles anyway. So the ratios make sense even if they just laid off 5% of staff in total.

      You don’t know what you’re talking about. I personally know multiple devs who were laid off from my company. These companies don’t give a shit about your skills anymore, they’re purely looking at how much money you cost them.
