Microsoft's MSN Helps Microsoft Spread Lies About the Layoffs' Scale (Well Over 25,000 People Laid Off This Year)
Even going by Microsoft's face-saving numbers (which are false) in two waves they had 16,000, not 15,000. But there were close to 10 waves.
There seem to be monopolies on lies and on truth. Slopfarms help cement such monopolies.
Aside from the fact that more layoffs are on the way (MSN won't cover this), how about this MSN falsehood?
"Microsoft lays off 9,000 in AI drive, bringing total job cuts to 15,000 this year"?
NOPE!
There were about 10 WAVES of layoffs in 2025 alone, the latest were bigger than Microsoft says, and there was another one in the middle.
Regarding "AI drive", that's yet another lie in the headline above (we saw half a dozen others spreading this same lie). Microsoft culls many "AI" staff and shuts down "AI" datacentres. It's basically a giant lie.
As for layoffs, Microsoft culled close to 29,000 jobs this year. By our tally. In China alone Microsoft got rid of about 5,000 workers earlier this year. █
