What percentage of layoffs were non-engineers? From what I’ve seen majority were recruiters, product managers, and similar roles.

I am still getting recruiter emails for SWE roles and those engineers I know who were laid off have already found new jobs.

Like others stated - layoffs are real but articles like this are nothing but clickbait headlines.

I agree. My company did a 7% headcount reduction. Only 2 where from the eng side. Both people with performance issues. The rest where sales, marketing, and recruiting.
