The "Cut 10,000 Jobs" Clickbait and Microsoft Sites Now Speculating That Microsoft CEO Has Just Signalled More Mass Layoffs

Posted by Roy Schestowitz on Dec 08, 2025

Right now in a Microsoft boosting site:

And ABSOLUTELY clickbait trash: (we covered this type of stuff not too long ago)

Negation in headlines and no clue/s as to what the news might actually be.

Every month this year Microsoft had mass layoffs (we said the same last December), typically more wave than just one per month. Last month the layoffs were indirect and included a studio shutdown in Liverpool, England.

Is there more coming by the end of the year?

Quoting Windows central a few hours ago: "While speaking with Mathias Dpfner, CEO of Axel Springer, the executive admitted that he spends of of his weekends learning about how startups build and develop products. Nadella indicated that Microsoft's size "has become a massive disadvantage" as it tries to establish dominance in the AI space (via Business Insider). [...] Unfortunately, Nadella's comments could also be seen as a signal that more Microsoft layoffs are on the horizon, under the guise of "efficiency." Comments like the above may be laying the ground work. Our sources have suggested that there are rumors swirling internally of another round of early 2026 layoffs, even after 2025's massive 15,000 cuts — also reportedly inspired by AI."

Correction: by our tally, Microsoft had more than 30,000 layoffs this year, not 15,000.

But media likes to parrot the "official" lies whilst ignoring all the well-documented evidence contradicting those "official" lies. █
