Letting people go over a long time span is dangerous. everybody will be paranoid. Way to create a fucked up environment.

They are happening over the next 18 months, but they're letting 1,400 go today. Unfortunately, my ex was one of the unlucky 1,400.

I thought MSFT employed more people quite honestly

weird, the layoffs were supposed to happen over the next 18 months

The layoffs are official. My ex-wife works for them, and they got an email from Balmer saying that layoffs were happening today. She's on her way to a "company meeting".

I guess 10-17% was an exaggeration

2 of my family members work for them, I should hit them up and see what the deal is.
