Rumour: Microsoft Not Done Eliminating Jobs at LinkedIn
Posted less than a day ago (author unknown, anonymous):
THE LinkedIn big news of this week came a little earlier than planned due to whistleblowers or leakers (that's what some media outlets reported, saying it had happened against Microsoft's will or prematurely). Finding one's name in the "chopping" list is not particularly nice and when the message is not properly conveyed, there's risk of suicide, sabotage, etc. Revenge stabbings are also a possibility at Microsoft [1, 2, 3].
In any event, there is this plausible new rumour. Call it unsubstantiated or whatever, all that "Hey Hi" (chatbot) vapourware did not pay off. It just cost Microsoft a lot of money in energy, water, and marketing bills. It'll come at something (or someone) else's expense. █
