| Oct 28, 2023 at 18:33 | comment | added | John Omielan | @Philippe Thank you for the info. I assume you're not permitted to provide the specific numbers. As indicated in my answer, I suspected this might happen because, in my admittedly very limited experience, companies try to limit how much internal company details are released publicly. However, as I've made it clearer in updated my answer, I was primarily concerned about there being any management who were affected. Although it's best nobody's laid off, there's a sense of "fairness" if it's not just lower-level people. Finally, note I've now included part of your comment in my answer. | |

Make it clear my main issue is just whether or not any management level people were also impacted by the layoffs, with the #'s & percentages being secondary. Also, add most of Philippe's comment.

In terms of meaningful change, well, I grew the very team that we're talking about here, among other things. I wouldn't expect you to know about the change that I bring, though, because much of it is necessarily backstage. But I'm proud of the liaison program that I introduced, for instance, and for our closer and tighter cross-functional relationships. :) | |
| Oct 19, 2023 at 6:53 | comment | added | curiousdannii | @Philippe But you're a VP and you appear to be really quite low down in the company hierarchy. At least from what I've seen - it doesn't seem like you've been able to affect much meaningful change so far. If the company is in such a dire financial state I'd expect more executives to be moved on too. | |
| Oct 19, 2023 at 4:21 | comment | added | Philippe StaffMod | Yes, management was impacted, up to and including at least one VP. I'll see if I can get the numbers, but honestly I don't know if I'll be allowed to release those. I'll ask. But I think I can safely say that just as with the layoffs of individual contributors, management layoffs were clustered around the same solidly impacted teams, primarily Go-to-market focused. | |

| Oct 17, 2023 at 8:04 | comment | added | user152859 | I bet it is anywhere between 0% to 0%. | |

Rephrase my latest sentence to, I hope, make it a bit easier to read & follow.
