I'm not sure this is "for the most part"
Sure, FAANG may have had this notion (or at least FNG; not sure if the As ever had), along with the sort of religious/dogmatic "drinking the koolaid" type culture they were trying to instill within their employee-base (helped to no end by outsourcing large portions of their sales operations so they'd have a smaller core to "spoil").
Thinking of BigTech more broadly though, & especially big old enterprise-y tech like the IBMs, Oracles, SAPs & telcos, layoffs being arbitrary & indiscriminate seems like nothing new.
