Laid off recently. I'm here to vent.
Laid off recently, and honestly, it's been a weird mix of panic, hope, and endless questions! It started off with a shock and then the usual paranoi around … I doing enough? how long will savings last? where do I even start again? If anyone else here is figuring it out too, would love to hear how you're approaching it. I think this is a support community so let’s vent. I also think one should be able to post anonymously here if possible…Admin take note.
Another 9000 people laid off by Microsoft
Another 9,000 people. IT’S A BIG NUMBER!Microsoft just confirmed another round of layoffs.That’s nearly 18,000 jobs lost this year alone.Cloud, sales, Xbox, marketing, engineering.No team feels safe anymore. No level is untouched.And this isn’t about poor performance.It’s not about profits either.Microsoft made nearly 100 billion dollars last year.What’s happening is something deeper.Companies are spending billions to gear up for AI.And the budget for that?It’s quietly coming out of people’s jobs.If you’ve been impacted by this round, or one before, I hope you know this that it’s not your fault.You didn’t mess up.You didn’t underperform.You were part of a system that is shifting beneath everyone’s feet.If you feel numb, angry, or just tired, I want to say you’re not alone.Drop a note if you’ve been affected.What role were you in? What are you hoping to find next?Even just saying “laid off today” is okay.And if you’re hiring, please take a minute to scroll and connect.You never know whose life you might change.We’re all watching the future of work reshape itself in real-time. Let’s not go through it quietly.
