Round 2 of Microsoft layoffs coming starting Jan 18th. Around 6K is the number one source mentioned. HR will probably mass flag this post and get it removed. Like if you want more updates. Update 1: Managers of impacted folks will be notified the previous day. HR will also provide talking points on how to handle impacted employees and how to talk to the team about it. #Microsoft #layoffs

Summary: Other (previous) rumours have named the same dates and similar numbers; so perhaps today the middle managers are already being prepared

Update: Seems Bing may be affected:
