A once great company that greed will cause to go to crap

Microsoft just announced they are trying to layoff 1/3rd of their workforce because AI can handle it.

It's likely their employees are entirely depending on AI to complete their work in the first place.

We’ve been told AI isn’t coming for your jobs. I, for one, believe that.

Most large companies have thousands of people doing nothing of any value. They could dump 1/3 of their people and no one would know.

But it's that one guy who winds up being in that 1/3 by accident that really knew WTH was going on.

Kudos to Microsoft and all of the companies that depend on their DLL hell Windows ecosystem to run their businesses.

They must have flipped the AI switch today and that’s what caused the outages.

Most of the people they offered early retirement aren’t located in the US

It's a rather lengthy outage to be sure.

If it is still persisting when I go to the office tomorrow I'll be concerned that it's something bigger than what we think

If you’re a high performer it won’t take jobs. Most of the time those roles are either augmented to fit the new model with AI or they are found somewhere else within the company. For the mid and low performers, they need to be afraid. Because those are the ones on the block.

If AI were so great, they’d have had this shite fixed 12 hours ago. I’ve been told time and time again AI can code anything in no time
