Vital Notes:
“Approximately” and “about” are used frequently in the text, so the numbers are estimates.
Some entries don’t specify the exact number of affected employees,only a percentage or a general description.
Reasons for the cuts vary, including financial difficulties, consolidation, service reductions, and transformation efforts.
The dates provided are when the plans were shared or announced*, not necessarily when the layoffs took effect.
