But they will TOTALLY leave activisions head count alone if the merger completes 😂😂😅
I don’t think that will happen. If Microsoft are happy to lay off their own staff I think they will do the same with Activision.
Lot of deep coming…. 2023

Joes America-
@Eye See he can’t even remember what day it is, you really think he has more power than one of the richest men in the planet?
@Eye See no, it’s never the extremely wealthiest people fault. They’re just making record profits tho….
They should Learn 2 Coal Mine
I knew nothing good was coming from that expensive divorce too.
@cashed – out Kill Gates is more interested in making mRNA jabs now. It’s much more profitable and he can use governments to force people to use his products.
IfTrump laid off 10,000 people, The media would’ve say, failed businessman😂😂😂
Trump would declare bankruptcy and run. 10K isn’t a large % of Microsoft workforce.
@2011hwalker Biden bot
@2011hwalker
Get over it Trump he is not the only one Filed bankruptcy in America beside laying off 10,000 employee it’s not a joke, I don’t care how big they are, is Bill gate also laying off his Indian employees in His call-center in India or just his American employees??
So much for paying over asking price and waiving all home inspections.
Dan is showing the real reason for the Microsoft layoffs and thats the super Nintendo controller in the background. Meaning that Nintendo has taken the gaming market form Microsoft and Sony. I’m sure those layoffs are mainly around the Xbox gaming division.
More good news for the billionaires.
That suit lol
😂 omg this is great. All those people going to/went to school for coding must be ripping their diplomas to shreds 😂
@real king because Microsoft is at the top of the food chain – Just putting Microsoft anywhere in your resume – You get a million chances!
@BSuperKind but this comment was in reference to the industry as a whole, from the articles I read it’s two major issues, one the industry over leveraged itself during covid and two ai is starting to take over a lot of the jobs coders traditionally had. I think it is something to be worried about
@AlbionLHoD
Idk I just like watching these corporations fire everyone for no reason except they wanted to be able to afford their new yacht, I guess 😒
Learn2Coal
@BSuperKind there is a hiring freeze in 90 percent of tech sectors across the board. Please use logic
This is the result when you voted for Biden & democrats
What’s happening?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣people Stop taking GATES Vaccines……………
Let’s go
Chat, GPT replace them all
And how many of the 10,000 will have roles to do with quality assurance of Windows 10 & 11 and updates?
I bet most aren’t software engineers
Worked with MS engineers many years ago on a joint project. Very good engineers, but TOTALLY ARROGANT. And when I pointed an issue, they would say “You are right”, but FU. MS does whatever it wants to. Maybe this will start some humility and cooperation in MS. But I doubt it.
I’ve heard the most them were in overseas…It will not damage the unemployment in USA(?).
2020 Microsoft Employees ” We’re never going back to the office”
2023 Microsoft “Please return any company owned property “
Never mentioned is how WFH reduced productivity and hence prompted companies to hire more workers. That is the main reason the labor market is so tight as productivity went to hell in a handbasket. Now the chickens are coming home to roost.
@V Sohn True. It would also be interesting to see if Microsoft ( and others) realized WFH doesn’t neccesarily mean it needs to be in the u.s. I’d like to see if they offshored the WFH jobs here in the u.s.
Don’t worry all the illegals are doing just fine .If you voted for Sleepy Joe i don’t feel bad for you.
Fat trimming? If you ever have questions or problems with their windows systems, you could never get real tech support from ms so-called engineers. Those guys are so incompetent and don’t even know their own systems. Maybe this process could serve as a warning to the lazy ones.
Android as a promiscuous OS for RISC-arm for the win.
Bad news for the Indian techs.
They know nothing anyway. Just cheaper.
So they can spend $10 BILLION on acquisition for ChatGPT but yesterday announced they are laying off 10,000 people…don’t be fooled. No such thing as company loyalty.
Don’t worry, he’s going to outsource to India
Those people over there, are not that good. Many are, and many are not.
They should be hiring 10,000
What about the Apple plant in NC? There will be plenty of competition.there for tech jobs. With Apple coming in. NC is the new “Silicon Valley.’
How many of them are on H1B visa? how many are Indian? I want to know those numbers
You know we don’t ask that lol
@Sereous313 if they are lay-off all 10k Americans and later hire 10k Indians for cheap. That needs to sound the alarm.
About 75 percent
Keep voting for democrats
More than half the employees at MS are vendors, or yellow badge employees. People who work directly at MS are blue badge employees. MS is doing what other companies do where more and more employees are contracted out as vendors that’s sign NDAs. Wouldn’t doubt that the layoffs are just going to increase the yellow badge vendors to do the same things.
AI and ML on the rise. This is going to continue for next 2-3 yrs until they remove all redundant positions which can be easily replaced with AI and robots.
