    And does the dead weight get cut during layoff season? Or does it affect people who are capable but won’t take bullshit from management?

      I’ve seen both, sometimes middle management gets gutted and things are reorganized, sometimes it’s more focused on the grunts.

      You can only generalize it so far

      I actually think we did a pretty good job - but our “layoff” was a mini one. Fractions of a percent. But of the people I knew, wasn’t worried about any of them. Felt bad for the people, they were all nice, but none of em were good at their jobs.

      Quite a few sr directors and VPs were let go, or allowed to leave….

      Broadly from what I saw, it was pretty much all the people that didn’t do anything useful.

      In fact a lot of them were the guys who didn’t give anyone shit, because they didn’t do shit.
