Yes, Microsoft is Again Using Its Favourite Liars (Stenographers) to Seed Fake Layoff Numbers, Much Lower Than What's Really Happening
It is Jordan Novet again, just as we predicted:
Also the Microsoft source burner, Mr. Bishop:
So Microsoft basically controls both the information and the media that gets access to it, just like the last time. Same two people.
So it happened exactly on the same day we said 3 weeks ago, even several times. Who's affected? Whatever the rumours said.
Jason Schreier was right last week:
Whatever numbers you see in the media, the real numbers are a lot bigger and the reasons aren't what they say. Those people were briefed and prepared in advance by Microsoft in order to soften the reaction of shareholders.
Now slopfarms will repeat whatever Microsoft told the media operatives to say and false claims will become perceived truth. Because apparently media has been reduced to corporate parrots and then LLM slop (more parrots). █
