Is this data verified?
Yes, each & everything we report on 6figr.com is verified numbers only. As our cornerstone differentiator is authentic & accurate data.
What is the source of this data then?
It's a mandate that companies must file reports about layoffs to the government so that unemployment benefits are not abused. We extract data from these filings, which are buried in pdfs. cleanse, organise & present this data. So that you, the employee knows the inside health of a company through numbers & not by their marketing propaganda.
Why do this?
We believe information can be empowering, and that the financial health of a company is best known through numbers — and the shocks are first felt by the employees at the epicenter through layoffs whilst much further later in the market. So if we’re betting years of our life working for a company, it makes sense to be aware of the company’s past acts.
