Can you show one example of a 500 company in the last 10 years that layed off 50% of their headcount on a single day?

I don't know about 50% but Citi group, Boeing, Ford and GM all did lay-offs in the 20-30% range in the last 20...

HP did 30% in 2008 over multiple rounds.

Does anyone actually know how many Musk is laying off? (It seems there is an enormous amount of BS being claimed here, I heard 80%+ but with no reliable numbers, who knows)

there is a leaked list with 3578 people that's roughly 50%.

Link to the leaked list?
