Recent: In One City Alone Microsoft Fired Almost 3,000 Workers This Year (We're Still in March)

Published 48 minutes ago



Summary: Amid more layoffs this week (Azure is in trouble) and now that mainstream media is consistently predicting bad results for Microsoft (they will distract with "AI" smokescreen/vapourware^*) it's worth taking note of the new report (above) ______ ^* The pro-Microsoft "AI" trolls have infested our IRC network this week.

Update: The key part:

Microsoft currently occupies most of the space in Millennium Corporate Park. CBRE is marketing 497,193 square feet out of the 537,000 square-foot campus. This plan was followed by Microsoft’s earlier plans to reduce office space by 1.7 million square feet by not renewing leases in Bellevue and Issaquah. Microsoft has also put the development of campus expansion project on hold.

"497,193 square feet out of the 537,000 square-foot campus" is about 93%. So it sounds like they're almost shutting it all down.

Update #2: Preview again and it is negative with blame-shifting. Notice how they blame other companies for this "deceleration". So now instead of insisting that "clown computing" was all along the future it's just this nebulous thing they call "AI" (they mean chatbots).
