With the reduction in workforce you have to see the trickle down effect as vendors who supported the cafeteria and janitorial services will also be greatly impacted. These hard workers will have a more challenging time finding new work. So its not just those let go but those support staff that are no longer needed. The trash did not magically disappear overnight and your matcha latte's do not make themselves.

A lot of those roles took a serious hit from COVID. People already on a financial kn--e's edge.
In my career in tech nothing has infuriated me more than to watch the disrespect for support staff many techies exhibit.
Just to be clear, you're a lot closer to them than you are to Zuck, Leon, and Bozo.
