Under 1000 of over 200,000 employees. Drop in the bucket at less than 0.5% of the company. I wonder how that compares to just the annual “clearing the Chaff” numbers?

Yeah. I have worked at places where the annual layoff churn rate was like 1% every year. And I saw people get laid off then rehired 2 weeks later. Again and again.
