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.

Sucks, ZIRP really collectively fried the brains of seemingly every tech C-suite in the country.

Absolutely, we are not as bad as Block who is basically returning to pre Covid levels.

No, because they massively overhired. Same shit that happened to Twitter. 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)

Per jjc Twitter, grindr is very well run and professional. Bumble is in disarray.
