That's tough news for the San Diego team. Layoffs are never easy, and it's always concerning when it seems like there might be a pattern. Without inside information, it's hard to say for sure, but often these types of reductions are strategic, aiming to optimize for specific business priorities or shifts in market demand. It's understandable why people are looking for clarity on which areas are most affected. Hope those impacted land on their feet quickly.
It's always a bit of a guessing game when these things happen without official word. Historically, depending on the company's current focus, it can be engineering, particularly in areas where they might be consolidating or shifting focus, or sometimes sales and customer-facing roles if there are changes in go-to-market strategies. Less commonly, it could be support functions. Hard to tell without more data, but it's definitely a worrying sign for morale and future growth within those specific segments.
