I guess I’m jaded because I’ve seen far too many times where it’s the worker bees, the people who actually put the work in and get things done, getting the sharp end of the stick. I would be surprised if the 17% of employees Discord laid off actually included VPs.
The notice, required when companies perform mass layoffs, said the employees would officially leave Discord on Feb. 2. Dozens of engineers are among the casualties, as are several trust and safety employees, product managers and data scientists, according to the notice.
Depending on how the structure is laid out and what product areas were cut, I’m guessing up to the director level would be impacted.

I hear you. You are going to see a lot more worker bees than VPs laid off in part because there’s a lot more worker bees than VPs.
