Microsoft's Washington Layoffs Aren't Everything, They're Definitely Not Happening in Just One State in the US
Washington is just more strict with WARN notices
Google News is currently (right about now) promoting about 4 slopfarms that cover this week's Microsoft layoffs, but also about 5 legitimate news sites, 3 of which not controlled by Microsoft [1-3] (unlike the first two which wrote about it, spinning it as "investment" in "hey hi"). There's also a report related to "years-long battle against Microsoft after layoffs" [4], which is quite unique.
To us it seems like our predictions of August layoffs - based on whistleblowers who were anonymous [1, 2] - are fulfilled very early in the month. There's likely a lot more on the way, and maybe already more (outside of Washington). Microsoft told the media it was firing over 15,000 workers (probably far more), but apparently that did not go far enough. Given the company's obscene debt, not even a fictional "worth" can compensate for money problems. From what we're hearing, this volatile and fictional value lets Microsoft pay it workers in a fake currency instead of real money. There are restrictions on converting such currency into "real money" (time limits and heavy taxation).
Something isn't right at Redmond. One day it'll become more common knowledge. It should be noted that Bill Epsteingate is currently planting various gloating pieces in the mainstream media about himself (links omitted); they seem to deliberately try to distract from his deep ties to Jeffrey Epstein. █
