Microsoft Whistleblowers Say "The Entire Thing is Going to Fall Apart" and There Are "No Benefits" to Being Part of Microsoft
"Multiple sources, who chose to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal"
"Centuries of collective game development experience discarded in minutes," the above report says this morning. "That's how the fifth round of mass layoffs at Xbox since 2023 unfolded, according to those impacted by the cuts. Multiple sources, who chose to remain anonymous for fear of reprisal, have explained how Microsoft's latest purge—which will result in 3,200 people losing their jobs across Xbox by the end of the current fiscal year—felt bizarrely self-defeating and needlessly cruel."
Notice the fear of speaking out against Microsoft. We've long covered how Microsoft attacks whistleblowers and how some Microsoft-funded operatives inside the media were (still are) burning Microsoft whistleblowers.
There's more of the same in other site right now:
Days ago some slopfarms tried to frame Microsoft's layoffs as "generous" - boy, am I familiar with people from Microsoft calling their own attacks on me "generous"? Men who strangle women are so "generous".
Remember that only months ago Microsoft tried telling people in their 40s to "retire". Anything to help Microsoft save face, casting mass layoffs as mere retirements or "buyouts". █
