![Microsoft employee gets fired after 14 years of service, calls it the beginning of a new era](http://techrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/microsoft-new-era.png)
Why so positive?
![Her LinkedIn post, announcing her layoff news, reads, After spending 14 years dedicated to a remarkable company, I find myself at a crossroads as the Microsoft chapter in my life draws to a close. Throughout these years, I have experienced numerous reorganization processes and witnessed the departure of many talented individuals. Now, it is my turn to bid farewell and join the ranks of those leaving Microsoft. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the individuals I had the pleasure of meeting within this vast organization; my admiration for those who remain a part of it runs deep. I am immensely grateful to the exceptional mentors, managers, and colleagues I leave behind.](http://techrights.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/07/brown-nosing.png)
This is what happens when Microsoft manages news... about Microsoft
Summary: Microsoft MSN, quoting Microsoft LinkedIn. So we're meant to think there's a happy story here*, based on Microsoft's cherry-picking. As psydruid said, "Microsoft is transparent and honest about the lies it perpetuates". Of course Microsoft does not mention any of the layoffs outside Washington State.

* Colleagues of theirs find that gross. There were some
comments here that got deleted (yes, censorship). One of them said: "What a bootlicker. Just trying to show other employers that he's the ultimate bootlicker." This linked to Microsoft's LinkedIn, wherein a Microsoft person sucked up to the company and begged for another job. They make it seem like the people who lost their job are happy and grateful.
