The Crunchbase Tech Layoffs Tracker

In their table sorting by percent or total laid off is worthless because they are sorting strings so "1000" comes before "90"

Haha this is probably because in the crippled language called JavaScript array elements are by default sorted by first converting them to strings.

I might be the only developer with basically no JS experience. I could not believe this was true. I had to look up. It was real.

They laid off anyone competent enough to do it

https://layoffs.fyi/ is better

I prefer https://www.trueup.io/layoffs

Interesting that Crunchbase thinks more workers have been laid off in so far in 2023 than were laid off in 2022.

In my experience, this holds true.

A number of my competitors have been initiating relatively large layoffs the past few months after enforcing a hiring freeze in early-mid 2023 compared to back in 2022.

That said, it's been 70-30 Sales+Marketing-Engineering+Product layoffs wise, but Engineering+Product hiring has absolutely been tamped down.

I wouldn't be surprised if RTO is being used as a way to force some redundancies to leave so we could rehire at a better comp level.
