Microsoft lays off portion of workforce as part of ‘realignment’

I don't like to think about my chances of finding anything else should my current job disappear. With a wife, child and mortgage it's a little scary.

I wonder why? Interest rates mean debt repayments are increasing, thus they need to cut costs elsewhere? Something Else?

Satya seems to have opted to just sort of reorg in chunks every few years which I kind of like as opposed to the yearly stack ranking performance induced reorgs that just lead to obscenely short term thinking.

As a former Microsoft employee, the July reorgs were completely expected (and use to be much broader in scale). Not much to read into here.
