Beware the Microsoft Spin in Microsoft- and Bill Gates-Funded 'Media' (the Real News is More Layoffs at Microsoft, Revealed This Month and Definitely Not a Prank)

THERE we go again... by all means, keep the eyes on the ball.

Microsoft Teams layoffs; way to start April 2024 (so far this year there are layoffs at Microsoft every month).

This is the real news:

Microsoft Teams layoffs

Don't lose sight of it. The real news in short (leak):

Frank Shaw, a Microsoft spokesperson, confirmed Spataro was putting more resources behind Copilot but said Teams remained a core priority and that Copilot was a part of Teams. Copilot for Teams, Shaw said, is the company's most used and loved Copilot according to customer surveys and research and will continue to be a focus of investments. Shaw did not comment on whether the reorg included Teams layoffs.

Microsoft's chief liar, whom we did a series about before: (he's connected to the military's propaganda, too)

Shaw did not comment on whether the reorg included Teams layoffs.

The Microsoft insider said that happened. Maybe it's among those laid off and forced to sign the notorious NDA.

The spin (Bill Gates-funded BBC, run by Microsoft UK people):

Microsoft: Technology giant splits Teams and Office globally

Variants of the same (some brought it up IRC earlier today):

Microsoft decides to separate Teams from Office 365 & Microsoft 365, amid antitrust investigation

Lots and lots more like this (noise machine). Then the media wonders aloud why people lost trust in the media (in general)...

Also new regarding Microsoft layoffs:

It's always somebody else's fault, isn't it?

According to the CEO of Xbox, the blame for the massive layoffs lies with the market

Xbox doesn't seem to care about the dismissal of 1,900 of its employees, judging by the statements of its CEO in one of their latest interviews.

This was in thelayoff(.com) just 19 hours ago. Insiders are not happy. The blame-shifting irritates the victims.
