Azure Stagnating, Partners Have Layoffs

Microsoft Cloud Tools Vendor SkyKick Confirms Layoff Of 140 Employees

Summary: There is more evidence of scarce demand for Azure; this means layoffs, as we saw weeks ago

TODAY we're seeing the third article about Microsoft-connected layoffs at SkyKick (the rest are in Daily Links). The first article came from a Microsoft-bribed site, which issues distractions and fake news. This does not bode well for Azure and clown computing in general:

SkyKick, whose products include tools to migrate to and backup for Microsoft 365, has confirmed to CRN that the vendor is laying off more than 100 employees worldwide.

In a statement to CRN, Todd Schwartz – co-CEO of Seattle-based SkyKick – said that the layoff was a “tough decision” and due to “current market conditions.”

“We are well positioned and remain steadfastly committed to ensuring our partners’ success in the cloud over the long-term,” Schwartz said.



Well, merely mentioning this tends to rile up Microsoft-connected militants. Azure performance is faked and there are many layoffs.
