1600 ish down to 1100. That's a big percentage cut, but not a big number cut.

I'm surprised they're not just letting natural attrition run its course.

When is 500 employees not a big number cut?

The WARN Act calls mass layoffs at just 50 employees. https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/WARN-FAQs.html

Maybe we’re being desensitized to layoffs but I agree that that’s a big number.
