#3Anyone have an idea of what percentage of the workforce affected? They already laid off 16% back in December. Since it's not mentioned in the blog post I fear it may be quite high.

#4It's interesting to see the continued waves of layoffs. I'm starting to hear from friends at startups that their companies are going through pretty significant layoffs. Makes sense since we're basically at the 1 year mark from when the VC money dried up.
I wonder how many companies had 12 to 18 months of runway left and we're about to see them slowly turn off the lights.

#5Wow this seems really poorly worded.
On one hand, the CEO is upbeat about the future and yaks on about strategy and in the same breath says "you're fired".
Seems very insensitive.
Laying people off isn't the time for a pep talk and ra ra rally on the strategy.
IMO if you have to lay people off then the focus should be the people being laid off, nothing else.
"Deeply sorry, we did our best to avoid this and we don't see any choice at this stage. All benefits have been paid immediately plus a severance package in line with statutory requirements. We have engaged a search firm to assist the people impacted with their job search.
We believe this is the right move to ensure stability in the current challenging economic conditions and I do not anticipate further layoffs.
I want to thank the impacted people for their service in building the company to this point."
Something like that anyway.

The wording is to reassure investors. They don't care about the employees.

Glassdoor reports Netlify as having 51-200 employees, so based on your 46 number this layoff affected anywhere between 23% and 90% of Netlify's employees. Pretty disturbing.
