More DEI (or Similar) Layoffs on the Way, According to Microsoft Team Leader
What happened shortly before Independence Day [1, 2, 3] wasn't the end of it, apparently
We've gradually updated this page (several times already) because "a former lead for the team" dealing with "diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI)" said this was only the beginning or "the cuts were done to get ahead of the Project 2025 conservative policy plan."
The headline, citing IGN, said the former lead "claims similar programs at risk" and around the same week we saw Microsoft settling with people who brought a lawsuit filed by the California Civil Rights Department (CRD). That too was about layoffs.
The picture isn't pretty. Microsoft is very deep in debt and its supposed "growth" area is reportedly losing billions. █
