That's what happens when companies are too fucking big, and intel was essentially a monopoly for a while.
I have interned at AT&T while at University, laying off a 1000 people would be less than 1 % for them.
After seeing this article I went down a rabbit hole and IBM isn’t even in the top 10 US of most employees. Here’s some of the popular ones from the top 30.

...i'm surprised to see DHL rank so highly in that list: what's their domestic market focus, business-to-business freight logistics?..i seldom see DHL packages and when i do they're almost exclusively of international origin...
That was also my thought as well. I only use DHL with some international orders, so I questioned their placement on that list.
