Update 2025-08-28 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): - Buy-outs will not be counted toward the total; only other cuts/layoffs will count.
Only layoffs that sustain past any court orders will be counted (layoffs later blocked or reversed by courts will not count).

@polymathematic I'm not quite sure, I'm going to need to end up finding better sources, open to ideas from commentators.
Estimates seem to range 50k-290k.
I would not by default include buy-outs, but only other cuts or layoffs, that do manage to sustain past any court orders.
