Anecdotally, the folks I'm seeing on LN most impacted by the layoffs seem to be more on the senior/higher paid side of things, probably more folks that chose the tech track than people management (but I'm seeing those too).
Seems like companies are focusing on cutting folks that don't contribute (code, reports, something tangible) directly to revenue streams.

Follow from this? > more on the senior/higher paid side of things Are you implying that every single senior+ person you know who got cut was worthless? Because generally, the more senior the more you contribute to a company’s bottom line.
- candiddevmike 4y agoIn my experience, the more senior you are, the less obvious your contributions are to bean counters. Thus my observation that companies could be using metrics similar to tickets closed or lines of code weighed against someone's salary to determine if they should be laid off. Happy to be wrong here.
