minus-squaredanc4498@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up34·1 year agoDidn’t Microsoft just report massive profits after reporting they played off tons of people? Maybe it was in reverse order, but they knew they had massive profits at the same time they were laying off tons of people.

minus-squarezalgotext@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 year agoYes, and also months after Bobby Kotick left, taking a $300M severance package with him.
minus-squareJakeroxs@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·1 year agoThe Microsoft layoffs were a bit different because it was cutting redundant positions after the Actiblizzard merger. Stuff like middle/upper management mostly I would bet, the company I worked for did a similar lay off after an acquisition not long ago.
