Looking at the CEO's statement it seems the final layoffs aren't even finalized yet.

> Unfortunately, this will include changes that will result in a reduction of GitHub’s workforce by up to 10% through the end of FY23. A number of Hubbers will receive notifications today, others will follow as we are re-aligning the business through the end of FY23.

Wonder what teenagers these days think of when you call someone a "hubber"

This is the exact same message Microsoft CEO said in his message. So yes MSFT is directing these layoffs.
