At a Tech firm where we have impending layoffs in the next 3 months. 10-30% expected. AMA.

Who is getting axed? Just a general cut across the company, specific teams, entry level engineers, middle management, etc.? Why the huge range (10% is pretty different than 30%)?

Company is in bad shape. Cuts are across the board, and include SLT. Senior leaders are running around like headless chickens.

No, because they massively overhired. Same shit that happened to Twitter (which he also ran). AI is just the excuse to save face; and tbf it's not entirely incorrect, but they would be cutting staff to appease shareholders even in a world where LLMs didn't exist

CR. But counterintuitively this idiotic war of choice soil crisis is going to boost SaaS valuations because it’s an industry with no moving atoms in its supply chains or go to market, and the huge recession it will cause will reinstate ZIRP. So most of these companies are going to rehire in mid-late 2027.

Majority of leadership doesn't care about the product or customers, they are looking for a place to "work" and build their bank balance without working too hard. That is being upended now. The worst part is the senior leadership team know if they get fired they wont find another job ever.

The last couple of years has been the worst time to be in big tech. A tech worker at, say, Walmart or Marathon Oil or Delta Airlines, is doing much better one at FAANG. Because Walmart or Marathon Oil aren't investing in creating AI data centers. FAANG is laying off tons of staff to spend that money on AI data centers.

2010 - 2022: Rest & Vest at Big tech. Laugh at the lower tech folks who make 1/3 of what you make for same work.

2022 - present: AI layoffs. Cut throat work culture.
