Sep30 1pm UTC - Oct 4am UTC totals: 468 layoffs.
September totals (except Sep01): 6275 layoffs, and 861 additions.
Methodology and day-by-day breakdown is in comments.
This is a floor estimate, as many non-NA regions have layoffs with people still present in Slack and their access is fully cut with large delay.

@d1 just sl-AI-very
You have to account for those that quit also. There were many that quit following the announcement that there would be no salary increases, promotions, or cost of living adjustments for the 2nd or 3rd year across the company. This was after announcing their purchase of OpenAi for billions and before announcing the owner was the new richest man in the world.
I'm sure the ones that quit don't measure up to who was laid off.
@a1 Ireland will be from 20th October - December 15th a very slow process due to legal notice periods
Thank you for letting us now - your Slack notifications of disappearing people are priceless .
Thanks for doing this.
Oct and Nov would be unpredictable… jump ship while you can

I will be tracking October as well, but may be with fewer checkpoints - will depend on the pace of EMEA layoffs expected on October and more importantly how fast they are reflected in Slack.
