Microsoft is Defrauding Its Shareholders While Laying Off About 5,000 Workers

Microsoft's financial situation has long been manipulated (it not only defrauded shareholders before, but it also got caught, then paid bribes to silence whistleblowers)

Sunsets

Summary: Contrary to what Microsoft 'moles' inside the media want us to believe, the layoffs at Microsoft are considerable and the financial results are at least partly faked

"Microsoft Corp.-owned LinkedIn today said that it is laying off about 960 employees, or approximately 6% of its global workforce," says this article. We cited another article yesterday.



Who inside Microsoft decided on this number? We can imagine a conversation going on along the lines of:

"In recent weeks Microsoft laid off about 5,000 people (yes, we count contract workers too; it's a loophole), assuming part-timers in stores add up to about 20 people per store, plus 2,000+ more layoffs that Microsoft failed to hide (the disposed-of employees spoke to journalists with strong cryptography "apps").""OK, so we can lay off 960 employees..."

"But why 960? Who decided on the number?"

"Well, it's less than a thousand..."

"So why not 999? Or 990?"

"Obviously, because then people will realise Microsoft just creates an illusion of a small number..." (triple- rather than four-digit)

In recent weeks Microsoft laid off about 5,000 people (yes, we count contract workers too; it's a loophole), assuming part-timers in stores add up to about 20 people per store, plus 2,000+ more layoffs that Microsoft failed to hide (the disposed-of employees spoke to journalists with strong cryptography "apps").

"What kind of company fires so many people if it has real and sustainable growth?"The Microsoft-friendly 'journalists' are bombarding the media (earlier this week to present) with claims of growth. What kind of company fires so many people if it has real and sustainable growth? As insiders told us, Microsoft is basically defrauding its shareholders (a complaint was submitted to the SEC). The supposed "big growth" areas are actually suffering layoffs and cuts.

As an associate of ours put it, having studied some of the latest puff pieces (Microsoft-connected 'news' sites), Microsoft is just "shuffling the diminishing money around" and it is trying to seize people's medical records to assure/secure government bailout (if or when it becomes necessary; like JEDI); "this is where Microsoft is aiming its attacks of late," he said, pointing to media puff pieces that lobby for outsourcing of people's most sensitive data to Azure.
