apparently nobody knows.
I got hard numbers since Aug14 and some estimates since Aug01 and nothing prior:
- oct01-now: 1027 layoffs, 1112 additions (based on Slack regular tracking, layoffs reporting is delayed by weeks, as non-IDC and non-NA regions disconnect people from Slack with very long delay)
- sep02-sep30: 6275 layoffs, 861 additions (based on Slack regular tracking)
- aug14-sep01: 733 layoffs (based on Slack very few data points)
- aug01-aug14: ?2900 layoffs in IDC (based on media reports)
