2024 has seen two mass layoffs at Microsoft, with 1900 staff laid off in January, before a further 650 Xbox employees were shown the door in September.
Regardless, Microsoft’s shares are up and the company’s market value is now higher than $3tn, as it works to capitalise on the rise of AI.
That’s roughly 30k for every employee laid off
If they were software engineers, they saved $200,000+ per person laid off
That’s how he makes dem big bux, by telling other people to fuck off
Sounds like an easy sell to the board, then. It it’s that much of a net positive in economics.
