Yesterday:

Europe - you get a meeting invite for 'business update' and in that meeting you are informed by your manager and HR.

Yesterday as well:

Minutes ago:

Last month: Quiet Layoffs or Silent Layoffs Alleged at Microsoft

From what we have heard, the atmosphere at Microsoft is not good because workers sporadically get laid off. It stays below WARN (or equivalent) thresholds, so it does not attract much attention.

Just how much trouble is Microsoft in at this point?
