@lauren.degolia: 1. Out of 10, what level of corporate f*ckery did we hit? (zero being neutral, 10 being crisis) 2. if you were made this offer after being at the organization for a certain amount of time, would you take the buyout at this point? Why or why not? The numbers for reference: May 2025 layoffs: ~6,000
July 2025 layoffs: ~9,000
Spring 2026 retirement buyout: ~2,700 (30%+ of 8,750 eligible)
July 2026 layoffs: ~4,800 Total: roughly 22,500 people out since early 2025, about 10% of the company. October 2026: 60,000 offered a buy out. If 30% more take it that’s 42,000+ people displaced in 18 months (almost 25% of the company)… who is doing all that work to make up for that human capital walking out the door? AI is good, I don’t think it’s that good yet #M#MicrosoftLayoffs #t#techlayoffs#c#corporatefuckery#c#corporatelife#l#leadership

They’re trying to avoid the PR optics and the WARN Act.

If I got that offer, I would take it because I’m guessing they are planning to get rid of you whether or not you take the buyout…😱

These corporations should be fined for each lay off.

We need laws in place to hold companies accountable for layoffs like this, constantly, like a business strategy. This is wrong

This is all so short sighted. Economies don’t run on business spending, they run on people spending. If people can’t spend then there is no money for the companies to earn. Trickle down didn’t work but trickle up is about to.

There should be a tax on corporations that use AI to replace human workers to offset the financial hardship on the workers and resources to help them this will create.

The crazy thing is THERE WAS NO EMAIL! You had to go into the online rewards portal to see you got notification. If you didn’t there was a banner indicating you did not have a VEO offer.

Those data centers will be abandoned inside of 5 years. History repeats itself, this is the dot com boom all over again.

introduce a fine on layoffs if your company is profitable and growing year over year

As a former Microsoftee who was there a decade and left in 2022 take the package. Trust me. A RIF will happen when they don’t get enough volunteers.

We need to codify that corporations have obligations to other stakeholders, not just maximizing shareholder return.

If you’re just realizing something is really really wrong.. you’re way behind. Next year is going to be a blood bath in technology.. and the housing market because of said layoffs. It’s insane to me how people can do basic A+B=C

Simple: all employees from MS, Amazon, Meta, Google should call in sick all on the same day.

But if you don’t take it, won’t they still eventually lay you off but with worse terms in severance?

Absolutely take buyout. The reason why is because they’re looking to downsize. Your next email received could be a layoff. Take money go elsewhere

They need the money now and will rehire later. All the companies are doing this because interest rates are so high they don’t want to borrow against the government.
