Came here to say this. Good friend at Reddit shared the details. Many teams grew really fast; his did 4x in 2 years. As such, there is tension between the macro economics and teams asking for headcount. The solution is to clean up current talent (move or release), backfill released roles, and continue to grow; just lesser growth rate compared to previous 2 years.
