Caveats
- ClickUp is private, so absolute headcount isn't publicly disclosed.
- PayPal's 4,760 is the headline figure but spread over 2–3 years, not a single event.
- Meta's May 20 cut is ~10%, but Reuters sources indicate the full plan reaches ~20% with H2 timing not yet set.
- Cisco's number is reported as "fewer than 4,000"; 3,800 is a directional estimate.
- Block quietly began rehiring some engineers and recruiters by March — net headcount cut is materially lower than the headline.
