There are many Microsoft layoffs right now. There are also many layoffs in the media this year, so nobody seems to be properly covering Microsoft layoffs (some slopfarms repeat what Microsoft says, nobody investigates).

This morning we said Microsoft had found another way to get rid of Microsoft workers without calling that layoffs.

There are also reports about cuts to Microsoft's "customers". "Microsoft is cutting the amount of OneDrive storage people get with a Microsoft 365 subscription," this one says. Dozens of sites said the same. Almost nobody asks WHY?

Microsoft insiders very well know there are tons of cuts inside the company, affecting budgets of everything, not only Microsoft's headcount. █

"Microsoft, the world’s most valuable company, declared a profit of $4.5 billion in 1998; when the cost of options awarded that year, plus the change in the value of outstanding options, is deducted, the firm made a loss of $18 billion, according to Smithers."
