    Small company: yeah, we hired too many people, need to let go of 170.

    People: such huge cuts, not touching them anymore

    Large company: we’re laying off the entire staff of pre-Elon Twitter worth of employees in this one department because they didn’t make us enough money.

    People: good, your product sucked anyways

      I mean, I wouldn’t exactly call a company with 1000 employees “small”. It’s not the behemoth that something like Google is, but like… that’s a good chunk of people.
