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

  Yeah but mainly because of how insanely good it was for the 3 years before that. Covid pumped insane amounts of money into tech, which in turn lead to hiring WAY more people than were actually needed. This is just the correction of that, getting back to sustainable levels.

    That correction ended two years ago. This is larger and longer.

    There’s interest rates, section 174, AI, and heaven knows what else.
