We learned about the Microsoft layoffs in the news yesterday and right now nobody knows who will be impacted. I'm sure they will handle it as well as they can, but learning about it from the news first instead of the CEO is also odd. We did get an email from Satya this morning but it appears that notifying impacted folks will be done in a distributed manner by their management chain.
Most of the company isn't hiring now so there won't be many internal jobs that those being terminated could try to apply for.
