In tech? Yeah that's low.
I assume most of the layoffs were in support roles and not the main coders or hardware engineers. I assume it was a lot of secretaries and intern level stuff and phone rep and sales people supplemented by commissions and cleaning crew and maintenance jobs. Probably shut down some service offices too.
I doubt many sales. Sales are going to be some of the last people you cut. They're the ones working to bring money in.
