Far More Microsoft Layoffs and Spending Cuts Than the Mainstream/Corporate/Tech Media Reports on

Summary: Microsoft is a shrinking company and the media is failing to do its work (by investigating and reporting on the layoffs; instead it parrots whatever Microsoft says)

BASED on Gemini statistics (publicly available, unlike logs that get deleted), for a number of weeks already the hottest topic in this site was Microsoft layoffs, so we assume Microsoft staff knows something and is obsessively checking something, having heard the rumours that go back a month.



"Microsoft will probably still be around in 10 years, but the capacity of the company will be vastly smaller. It has no rebound strategy except graft."Based on contacts of mine, Microsoft had made deep cuts and staff could certainly feel the difference. There's a lot of impact, even if the "tech" media refuses to talk about it (Microsoft paid many of the major publications to relay Microsoft's lies and PR instead). In the video above I explain why Microsoft is in trouble (the growth is faked; it is meant to mislead shareholders) and is currently relying a lot on de facto bailouts from the US taxpayers.

Microsoft will probably still be around in 10 years, but the capacity of the company will be vastly smaller. It has no rebound strategy except graft.

The information needs to be out there, but people are afraid to speak out. As an associate explained this morning: "There's also the matter of the NDAs and non-disparagement clauses in separation contracts which further suppress public knowledge of what is really going on there in the hive. So until a court rules on the legality of such clauses "former" Microsofters are unlikely talk even if they wanted to. Unfortunately too few will want to, due to the cult-like nature of the business and the cult-like devotion required even in the earliest stages of their hiring process."
