Mass Layoffs in Microsoft's XBox Soon, Just Like We've Said for Months
Earlier today: Now It's a Mainstream Media (MSM) Story: Microsoft Layoffs Coming, They'll be Vast (and They Blame "AI", As Usual!)

More recent hours:
This month might turn out to be a bigger 'Microsoft bloodbath' than January 2023. If the numbers we saw are true or approximately right, then we might see about 25% of Microsoft's workforce removed within just over a year (it started last year).
Given that Microsoft has PIPs and employs many people temporarily and/or on contracts (as "contractors", "temps", or "perma-temps" - a contradiction for sure), the real extent of the layoffs is shrewdly hidden by Microsoft, which tries to justify the layoffs as something something something "AI".
But all this something something isn't convincing people anymore. It's a lie and white-collar fraud - one that some media pundits debunked routinely, more so in recent months. The phony narrative isn't persuading many people anymore, it only discredits the messenger/s.
Microsoft isn't worth trillions. Back in 2011 IBM was valued more highly than Microsoft and IBM too is having severe issues, which are disguised by subverting/skirting the WARN Act. This was a short while ago:
"Man," said this latest comment in thelayoff.com, "I just read that whole post and yikes. I thought my department was rough, but Albany Research? Good grief, that place sounds like a full-blown circus. Don’t get me wrong, my site’s got its share of headaches — it sure ain’t a picnic — but honestly, after reading all that, I almost feel lucky. Whatever nonsense we deal with here, it doesn’t seem nearly as bad as the mess going on over there. I just wish the posts shared with us names so we know who is who."
IBM and Microsoft are heading in a similar trajectory and are hiding how bad things are using similar tactics. This of course - by extension - applies to Red Hat. █
