Nothing has been announced in the company. So, don't bother asking the employees. Your guess is as good as ours :-).

Any more details in the ms internal channel?
A Senior Manager friend of mine told me this weekend at a party that his org is going to lose more than 200 people, almost all are software engineers and program managers.
Wow. That's bad. Which org? I guess Azure is safe.
Replaced by ChatGPT
You joke but chatgpt is a dangerous tool! I’ve used it and I was like… wow shit!
As a shareholder, this is good news. Too many lazy arse boomers at Microsoft who barely work 20-25 hours per week. MSFT has been too 'employee friendly' by being lenient all these years. 10K being laid off is a good number
Someone got thrashed in his interview lol
Lazy boomers or entitled millenials?
Surprise..? 🤦♂️ It's kinda comical at this point, these companies have no idea how to operate so they all just copy one another
This. They are just copying each other. Hiring, firing, spending, strategy…
Why is everyone in big tech cutting 11k? are they copying zuck’s homework or is there some agency behind the scenes giving them the same cost cutting plan
😂
I guess they asked ChatGPT.
I wonder if we’re already living in a world where news media is using anonymous, speculative Blind posts as a source, writing an article, and then Blind is saying “confirmed!”
No, it’s more like: 1. Blind stirs up a rumor 2. News media cites Blind as an anon source 3. Company acts on it because the news media said so 4. Blind then confirms it
The above article was updated few minutes ago saying that the source was Sky news and dan romanoff from Morningstar. If you look at the editors of the post are someone from Bangalore. I think they are making up things.
This is scary
any sources?
It seems like sky news and Dan Romanoff. They mentioned in the article
the sky news lists no sources though :)
Verge confirms, says notices go out tomorrow https://www.theverge.com/2023/1/17/23559412/microsoft-layoffs-job-cuts-2023
Is engineering going to be affected ? Based on meta layoffs, I would say it is going to be mostly the new joiners who will majorly affected. Plus staffs from less profitable orgs.
Yes, you are right. I confirm this.
Meta did not lay off new joiners
