28% released were HR? That is insane, being the HR depts exceed 28% to begin with. I’ve worked for large (100k+), small (<100) and medium sized (1000ish) sized companies for 40 years now and never heard of HR dept being more than 1-3% of the company. This is nuts if true. 28%. The only way that can be true is if their HR is stuffed with never/under-achieving do nothings to prove some feel good philosophy that has nothing to do with the actual business mission.
No, 28% of those laid off were from HR.
That doesn't mean that 28% of the total workforce in any given company was in HR.

28% released were HR?

I read that as meaning that 28% of those let go were from HR, not that 28% of the company was HR!
which accounted for 28 percent of all layoffs.
Not 28% of the company...if I am reading that right...
HR, I worked at banks and Insurance companies, and HR is where the LGBTQ movement infiltrated companies and forced woke-ism on employees.
Naturally, the staff getting hired in these departments were true believers. That also means they have no clue about reality.
Not all HR staff is insane. We need them, but once off the chain and out of the box, woke-ism runs rampant.
There is another way to interpret that figure without deducing 28% as the content of single companies.
