You Would Expect This Kind of Misleading Narrative Shortly Before Microsoft (or GAFAM) Mass Layoffs
The "headcount" framing/propaganda was responded to in:
- Microsoft's Latest Headcount Suggests Over 20,000 Laid Off Last Year (Net Loss)
- IBM and Microsoft Fake Headcount in Exactly the Same Way (While Mass Layoffs Persist and Real Revenue Falls, Not Just Compared to Inflation Rates)
- Microsoft Has Already Laid Off Tens of Thousands of Workers, "Headcount" is Misleading Spin From Microsoft-Funded Sites
- Headcount Shows This Year's Microsoft Layoffs Aren't About Blizzard or Activision, They're Mostly About XBox Failing
- More Microsoft Cuts and Layoffs (Microsoft Media Mole Jordan Novet Tries to Float "Hiring Freezes" Spin After the "Headcount" Spin Failed)
- Hundreds of Microsoft Layoffs (Net Headcount Decrease) in the United Kingdom
- A Lot of Fake News About Microsoft Headcount (Also: Microsoft's Debt Rose by About 24 Billion Dollars in Past 12 Months)
This same misleading PR was posted hours ago: (follow the money/motivation)
There are no Microsoft layoffs. What you are seeing isn't happening, get it? Who told you this? It doesn't matter, you know? It's just a lie! It's "fake news"!
Shut up, sir.
