These articles always talk only about the layoffs, never hirings or total employee numbers over time. But then it usually isn't much of a story anymore.

A quick search lead me to this site that provides some numbers. These layoffs would put them back to 22/23 levels, so somewhat of a plateau after they roughly doubled their headcount in the decade before.
