It’s never about the ability to pay for Fortune 500 companies. It’s about the optimal way of running a company. When Elon took over Twitter he fired more than 80% of the staff, same reason.

It was not the same reasons. Twitter was hemorrhaging money, moving towards unprofitability, and a damaged company culture. Microsoft is recording record revenue and profits quarterly for the last 3-4 years. Their company culture had been rejuvenated before 2020. For all intents and purposes, they're riding all time highs. If that's how those companies are going to behave then no new large mergers should be allowed. They didn't need to take on employees from LinkedIn, GutHub, games studio, etc., if they want their whole company to only be about AI and Azure. Honestly they should spin off those other entities and let them survive or fail on their own... rather than suffocate by removing resources.

Lol if you can run a company with 60k fewer people than why wouldn't you? Are they supposed to keep paying people they no longer need?

Hey @Microsoft , I will give you an idea to do layoffs. 1. Open youtube... Search "Day in life of a Microsoft Engineer". 2. You will get list of people who only eat but do not work in office. 3. Layoff them
