Reply to Microsoft to cut 10k jobs, about 5% of workforce, and take $1.2B restructuring charge by iingot
People talk about how awesome Nadella has been for Microsoft, but having to layoff 10K people is a pretty epic failure in my view.

This isn't typical, though. These are people who were hired under his "leadership" and are now being let go due to no fault of their own. In the grand scheme of things, sure, 10K may not be a lot, but I doubt that will give the families impacted by these layoffs much consolation. It's crazy that we've normalized mass layoffs and don't hold executives accountable for destroying people's lives.
