Microsoft has laid off thousands of employees in recent years. In July 2025, it cut 9,000 jobs, and later that month, the company's CEO, Satya Nadella, wrote that the terminations were "weighing heavily on me."
Lol, LMAO even.
Do you know how hard I cried up there in the sky above you all?
I felt the loss of all below me, helpless and shackled to my golden parachute, floating too high to even hear the screaming and wailing below!
What Microsoft needs now more than ever is senior engineering mindset with historical context and knowledge. All their products are duct taped together to varying degrees in order to hit shipping dates and/or enterprise feature requests.
Unfortunately there aren’t really competitors who are doing it differently.
Whoops!
Well, they need those because they have been actively getting rid of them.
They now continue actively getting rid of them...
IT CAN ONLY GOOD HAPPEN!
