“sharpen our focus and improve the way we work together to bring more agility to our organization.”

Ahh yes, watching co-workers get laid off does wonders for improving the way you work together with the people still there.

Not exactly a stellar market to be looking in. Chances are that you'll be trading down, especially if you're in some level of big tech, like Discord arguably is.
