Most of these layoffs are hardly a reboot. Just right sizing the companies now that COVID isn't forcing everyone to spend their money online.

This chart is inspired by a chart of The Economist (ed. Nov. 12t) - the data is available on the website of Crunchbase - the recent announcment of amazon was added by myself manually. The chart itself is made with Power BI with a customized charticulator template.

The size of the bubble represents the number of layoffs.

I find your viz interesting because it considers the timestamp / date values of the layoffs to highlight the areas which are rebooting/revamping.

I did a treemap of layoffs across industry https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/yvvtsb/oc_treemap_showing_the_layoffs_across_different/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 just a little while ago.

I'm assuming the size of the bubbles are meant to represent the number of people laid off?

It would be more interesting to see it as a percentage of their workforce. It's not surprising that the biggest companies have the most.

We're all figuring out how to admit that every piece of data from March 2020 to March 2022 is useless. We're unwinding all the stock changes that came from that and we're unwinding the hires that came from that.
