2024 has seen two mass layoffs at Microsoft, with 1900 staff laid off in January, before a further 650 Xbox employees were shown the door in September.

Microsoft CEO's pay rises 63% to $79m, despite [because of] devastating year for layoffs: 2550 jobs lost [employees were fired by their greedy CEO] in 2024 [because he wanted more money]
