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.

SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 4 months agoThere’s no evidence that the layoffs at these firms are actually tech workers.

Dev’s 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.

What on earth do you mean no evidence? I mean just check layoffs.fyi which specifically tracks this.
EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 4 months ago
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.

I’m not seeing that at all. Only total employees laid off and the industry the company is in.
