Also, it's pretty sure that in the past layoffs targeted women (a) statistically significantly more often and (b) with bigger strength of effect (i.e., laid off a larger % of women).

@weekend_editor@mathstodon.xyz well, that's depressing 😞 there was a short lived phased in the tech industry were hiring people from underrepresented groups were a source of pride. The political landscape has brought forward a new lack of shame to undo all that work. When someone complains about abuse or simply asks for normal work adjustments they're seen as troublesome and "too much".
