The weird thing about tech companies in my experience is that the techies are a minority and even they have groups within groups. 
You get a few core people who know stuff. Like, really know how it’s put together in the 237th combo out of a possible 600 combinations and why it must be that combination. 
Then you get grunts like me who hack stuff. We’re pretty disposable. 
Then you get non-techies who manage and organise. Very disposable. 
Those groups can have very different outcomes in a contraction, but sometimes accountants (or owners….looking at you, Mr Musk) make hasty decisions and get them wrong.
