Staffing Crisis and More Layoffs at Microsoft

TODAY's first video speaks about Microsoft layoffs - a subject that I've looked into many times per day lately. It's hard to keep abreast and way too easy to lose track of all the layoffs and shutdowns because there have been so many lately. A lot was not noticed or simply forgotten, overlooked, censored.
Less than a day ago I finally saw some expected timeline, with further layoffs and closures planned for July. As I explain in the video, sales of XBox have collapsed and there's no sign of any turnaround. Microsoft buying another company was probably about faking a superficial revenue increase, helping some managers get more bonuses and pretending Box was still growing. Until the whole thing collapses.
We saw many attempts at suppressing information lately; one common response to the censorship is further and wider dissemination, which lessens any future incentives to censor. One area that seems to have attracted the most "wrath" (or censorship attempts) is Microsoft and its demise. The share price (MSFT) is totally fictional, the layoffs are 2-3 times bigger than the press is reporting, and XBox collapsing may result in the complete elimination of the product within months or years. As a friend told me last week, Microsoft is laying off its acquired gaming shops too, having made many useless acquisitions that only give a false concept (illusion) of magnitude. They're willing to lose many tens of billions of dollars just to pretend revenue is "up" (debt is up by a lot more).
"Or to shift debt," my friend told me, so managers can take a few more bonuses, based on false financial data and even fraud. Microsoft has taken a turn from organised crime (such as bribery) to financial crimes. In a later video we'll cover how Microsoft became its own fake "client", boosting revenue by basically moving money between the buckets rather than making actual sales. █
