Summary: "Recently, [Microsoft's] LinkedIn added to the growing number of tech layoffs in the Bay Area by cutting nearly 200 jobs according to The Mercury News," the media says (hours ago, same time as the bad results). It goes on to note that those 200 aren't the complete number; there are many more all around the world. A related problem is that these will now search for employment elsewhere and bring with them toxic work practices and toxic work culture, then smear that around.
