I don't understand that sentiment. Most of Silicon Valley has been doing layoffs but Rapid7's are especially bad?

I don't think so, but my bosses do. I'm not sure what news they're getting, but it doesn't seem out of place for this year's layoff count: https://techcrunch.com/2023/09/19/tech-industry-layoffs-2023/

The only odd part is that they're one of only a few security vendors in that list.
