Microsoft laying off about 6,000 people, or 3% of its workforce

Who will fuck up the settings, control panel, registry, etc. interfaces now? The person who keeps putting Candy Crush on the start menu like it’s their life mission?

Cool. I mean I haven't been able to get past a single 10-minute "I just want to go over the job with you and collect some basic information" phone interview in 6-months.

But ya know. Another 6,000 people on the market is cool too.

There has never been a better time to switch to Mint, Pop_OS, or Bazzite.

I work in games. Its fucking incredible looking at my linkedin. I would say about 80% of my coworkers throughout my career are out of work right now. I started my own company because I was sick of it.

The Microsoft is dead. Long live the Linux!

Well, shit. Here we go again.

Is there an over/under going on for the rest of the tech sectors 's layoffs this year?

The tech industry is about to become a total shit show. Mark my words

Don't worry sounds like they are setting up sweat shops to keep these people busy.

pre-empting the AI non existent returns

Microsoft has 200,000 employees? Dang

They know what's coming and That's going to make America grate again.

They didn’t have growth mentality.

"In January, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told analysts that the company would make sales execution changes after the company delivered slower growth than expected in Azure cloud revenue that wasn’t tied to artificial intelligence. Performance in AI cloud growth outdid internal projections."

Translation: "No one gives a shit about Azure, except for the people we could hoodwink with AI."

Give people the right to work so corpos can't do this shit.

zorg strikes again..
