Microsoft Has Hundred of Layoffs Again, Same Week as the Company's Fake Results
"Microsoft ended its contract with MV Transportation," said a news report some hours ago, "affecting Microsoft shuttle employees."
As we explained the other day, this is a form of Microsoft layoffs and those people were in effect Microsoft employees, just classified as contractors.
This is a familiar and very common phenomenon at Microsoft. The contractors, the temps, permatemps etc. Serfs basically. Disposable workforce without rights. The debt goes sky-high and Microsoft gets rid of workers to whom it needn't pay severance (2024).
See the following: (all from 2025, the company's purse runs out of "generous" exits)
- Microsoft Staff Explains How Microsoft Swindled Employees and Avoided Paying Out Severance Pay (Microsoft Hasn't Much Money Left in the Bank)
- Disappointing 'Results' and Mass Layoffs (Without Severance Pay) Sank Microsoft, But It's a Lot Worse Than Shareholders Care to Realise
- Microsoft Staff Explains How Microsoft Swindled Employees and Avoided Paying Out Severance Pay (Microsoft Hasn't Much Money Left in the Bank)
- Microsoft Mass Layoffs Without Severance Pay Reported Hours After Microsoft Reported Weak Numbers and Microsoft Stock Fell
- Microsoft Blasted for Adding Insult to Injury: Workers Laid Off Without Prior Notice, Without Severance Payment and Basic Coverage (Like Health), Then Stigmatised as Bad Performers So They Cannot Find a Job Elsewhere
The above report comes just hours before "results" (fake as usual).
Microsoft will tell a bunch of nonsense about "clown computing" and for sure name-drop "hey hi" in relation to slop or LLMs (i.e. not "AI").
Speaking of LLMs, we are gratified to say that after this morning's Slopwatch we've only seen very little LLM slop about Linux* and prior to that it took almost a week to publish Slopwatch because we see somewhat of a decrease. Is the era of slop hype and frenzy finally coming to an end? Another "RMS was right" moment? █
