    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?

      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.

        Devs are getting laid off, but he actually does have a point that in the case of several of the biggest companies, the hardest hit were middle management, not devs.
