Epic Games is "laying off 1000 people." 23% of its workforce.

That number is bonkers. I feel like we've grown so desensitized to layoffs at this scale after a few years, that we don't think about the scale of 1000.

That's a highschool in a dense city. Or a small town in Canada, or a high-rise or two. That's so many lives and people who are dependent on that income.

What a nightmare world where we hear about layoffs constantly at this scale.
