The Mass Layoffs at Red Hat (Secret Layoffs) Not Limited to This Week or to October 1st

![Last Friday marked my last day at Red Hat [HatRed], closing a chapter of almost close to four years.](https://techrights.org/i/2026/10/HatRed.jpg)
So HatRed (hatred) isn't done laying off people now that IBM take control of HR, various people receive marching orders, and lots of people get another job at IBM until they get a PIP or RA.
It's not longer shocking to us that there's media silence. One of the least (not most) shocking things is the media's apathy. Red Hat can shed off 10% of its staff without anyone in the media uttering a word. █
