How many folks are working at boutique firms (1-50 people) who are laying off right now due to the economy?

I'm guessing larger firms are not affected

~30 person firm here. We're still growing and just got seed funding for a managed app we've built that we're already pitching to a FAANG member(which blows me away at our size if I'm being honest) No layoffs here that aren't individual performance related, and we're still hiring engineers and architects

I have seen terminations at my company in non-customer facing roles. We're in the 500+ employee range.

I do not know of these are strictly related to the cost of the employee to the company.

There is lots of companies really taking a hit in the tech space. Is this something that people are nervous about?

Saw my therapist this past Friday and he gave me a useful trick to build better behavior patterns. Whenever you have work to do but would rather nap or something, tell yourself 3 negative effects of the nap and 3 positive effects of doing the work. You might still take the nap, but if you can get in the habit of thinking of it negatively, you'll take less naps when you need to be doing other things.

Doesn't matter what the activities are. Could be working out vs eating more, could be socializing IRL vs wasting time in FB (lol)

Interesting. Let’s see if the uptick In cases continues to drive an uptick in hospitalizations and then in fatalities. Depends on how many of the cases are incidental or in very young people not prone to severe cases. But either way, look at the hospital capacity utilization figures! This is the untold story. Were we bending the curve to avoid unnecessary deaths due to overcrowded hospitals, or were we bending the curve to buy time for treatments and vaccine, or just to slow fatalities?
