Microsoft is a really shitty place to work right now. There are a hundred stories like this all over the company like this.
I see a lot of news about waves of layoffs in large tech companies. Is MS the only shitty place now? I think all of them are, maybe except OpenAI & Anthropic, since they're building something new and are kind of on the "good" side right now.
They've offered voluntary redundancy to a quite large proportion of the staff (a quarter?) so they'll also soon be losing anyone with employment prospects elsewhere.
