The Microsoft-Owned Media Shows What Spin Microsoft Will Use Amid Mass Layoffs
Earlier today in IRC we discussed this matter in light of a link posted there by admfubar, not knowing this was Microsoft-sponsored spin-doctoring decoy (link omitted). In a nutshell, that same publisher previously used "headcount" to craft some Microsoft spin, pretending the layoffs were not happening or had no actual effect. In XBox, the new CEO makes layoffs look like merely a matter of opinion, and the Microsoft media operative who burns Microsoft whistleblowers wants us to think and speak about "buyouts", i.e. layoffs with extended severance scope and period. All taken into account, Microsoft says goodbye to over 10,000 workers this month. This is a very conservative estimate.
Microsoft's agony is a gain to Free software. There's some other good news today and we expect the same tomorrow. █
