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.
the info on glassdoor is not correct.

1 C-suite, 2 VP+, 4 director+ roles across eng, sales, marketing, HR impacted. Lots of staff-level ICs also.

Then again, I can think of nothing more American than good people suffering under the poor decisions of bad people. That's like our entire history.
I would only disagree that such people are inherently bad. Rather, they are fulfilling the role that the dictates of capitalism requires of their given class. All people are inherently good, however all people are inherently social beings.

Oligarchy under the guise of false democracy... has it ever been any other way in this country? If not, there's no…
I guess the image for investors was built, what about the image for anyone considering joining Netlify at any time in future (probably not right now since they need to exercise their financial discipline).
