I am, for now, not doing further research when the spreadsheet lists a person whose name appears on the final leaked letter; so it’s possible that some of the 23 departures among the 702 names on the final leaked letter are spurious. (I will be more thorough when I resolve the market after November.)
I am counting only full-time employees and not counting contractors, as I currently believe that the 770 figure refers only to full-time employees. So far, I’ve seen no contractors among those who signed, but I’ve only checked a few; if the letter includes some categories of contractors, this gets a lot harder to resolve.
I am counting nontechnical employees (e.g. recruiting, marketing) as well as technical staff, because such employees were among those who signed the letter.
Note on current methodology:
