“All DM’s” show 168080 right now.
You can’t see that number in a desktop app but on my ipad it shows that.
its just dropped again to 166,292 !
I was just contacted by a colleague in Mexico who was just riffed this morning. His slack hasn’t turned to a yellow ghost yet.

well reductions are trickling in, will be monitoring through the day
mexico just started their 1:1s and we'll know better EOD. Their slack isn't deactivated yet
Slack tracking has a gap in previous week, but this week it shows some reductions of the head count, still within normal attrition, so it does not look like start of massive layoffs which will show reductions like 300-500+ daily based on previous rounds.

1 percent of 166K is about 1600 when you start seeing numbers like that, then start sharing. A few hundred here and there which goes up and down is negligible
@a4 It's -200 from two days ago, not 300. From yesterday, it's - ~100
Today: 166,343
mar24, 1am UTC: 166542 (+2)
mar24, 1:30pm UTC: 166434 (-108)
You will know when it happens. It will go from 2-3 troll posts a day to a very active board. With a lot of details about severence etc.
about -300 on general slack channel since the start of this week
