> Coders made up 14% of employees at tech companies Wow is this true? If so, I'm extremely surprised it is this low. No wonder Elon could cut 80% of jobs and everything would keep ticking along.
That assumes "supporting" functions from HR over Accounting to Sales are actually not doing anything at a daily basis...
A lot of very mediocre people were getting pretty astounding money. Happens every cycle.
There are a lot of "software engineers" who can't code well. I see a lot of "google and copy paste until it works and deploy". No thoughts behind design. No idea about performance. No testing. No innovation. They all need to go.
To me, the fault is in the industry and how the ships are run.

How many HR employees do you realistically need for a company that is downsizing?

Although the US don't seems to have a lot of these 'worker's rights' so I guess I don't really know (/s).
Many of these engineers have been hired for new business units that didn't end up being profitable with cheap credit going away. Others might be in business unit that is purely a cost center.
Nothing has really changed over the past few decades. Regardless of your role strive to be part of the company that produces the company's profit. Try to avoid parts of the company that are viewed as cost centers and are constantly under the eye of finance as they manage costs. You will find how are you treated in good and bad times radically different.
