IBM Termination Story and Information From Microsoft About Mass Layoffs
This is the latest thread about IBM layoffs (similar to what we heard that Red Hat had done).
See above what IBM allegedly did.
Microsoft is no better.
Techrights has also got it confirmed (from within Microsoft) that 1) workers are very stressed right now, due to layoffs. 2) workers are overworked and unhappy about this (but terribly afraid they cannot find something similar to do elsewhere). 3) it's widely recognised vast layoffs are coming, based on people close to the top (and the layoffs won't stop). 4) people work overtime and those who leave at 5PM (as they should) take a considerable risk of being laid off. That's actually illegal.
In 2 weeks of 2025 Microsoft already had 2 waves of layoffs - basically making up for "skipping" December after 11 consecutive months of mass layoffs. █
