Rumour: Second Wave of Microsoft Mass Layoffs in September to Commence Third Week of September

That basically answers questions like, "[a]ny specific date or time of the month?"
To be clear, there were already mass layoffs at Microsoft this month (France), but the above speaks of a global action.
There's a lot of LLM slop online (including some in Microsoft's MSN) that relays two lies: 1) Microsoft had only two rounds of layoffs this year; 2) about 15,000 people lost their job.
The reality is, close to 32,000 people lost their job at Microsoft so far this year (by our count) and there were about 12 rounds of mass layoffs. Microsoft also pushes people out; this way they "don't count". █
