When I think of efficiency and effectiveness, I don't think "podcast" (i.e., turning a 30-second skim into a 30-minute time-filler). :)

How many non-podcasting companies are moving from cloud providers to on-prem/colo?

The move back to one’s own computers isn’t causing layoffs. If anything it’s a sudden slowdown in overall IT spending.

What is a "cloud company" ? Seems like a pretty arbitrary metric

This site seems like a competitor to layoffs.fyi?

I wish OP hadn’t left off the 100 number. It’s in the title of the article. It’s only 3 characters longer and conveys so much more information. Why did they do that?

We actually tracked every laid-off individual from Google to understand the story behind the layoffs. Here's the summary:

- 747 out of the 2,762 laid-off Googlers have since updated their profiles to indicate a change of employment status in the last 4 months since November 2022.

- Only 56.7% of these people joined a tech company.

- 1/3 of these ex-Googlers joined startups.
