So according to a quick search, Google employs ~ 178k people, making this far less than 5-10%.

But yeah, cuts keep happening until interest rates start trending downwards again, basically.

G fired like 12K people at the beginning of the year.

Then smaller groups of layoffs throughout the year and usual churn. Adds up to ~5-6% for the year

This is true, however it’s also the first time Google has done a mass layoff, so I wouldn’t say it’s pointing to a yearly trend.
