How many of the layoffs at the big tech companies are PMs/marketing/sales/etc instead of people actually touching computers?

from friends at some of the big boys, “no wait I’m a real programmer!!” isn’t a get out of jail free card like in past contractions. the cuts are far more even.

loving everyone got drunk on near zero interest rates and overhired, from big tech on down, and it turns out that “actually making money” is more important than we thought in 2021

some people in various internet circles seem to think it'll get better in january when headcount and budget come back but i'm not so sure

lol that’s cope, i don’t know anyone whose budget and opens for next year haven’t been cut to the bone already. and everyone expects to give up even more sooner than later.

it’s ugly and will only get uglier soon.

my wife works at one and she said it taught her the phrase toxic positivity.
her favorite part is working at a feminist, decolonizing, anti-white supremacist organization that got Real Big Mad and corporate as hell when the employees started talking about unionizing.
