Those 60,000 people are being eliminated from tech jobs. That's a gigantic number. Microsoft is pruning. They'll do it the hard way if they have to with literal firings. They'd like to avoid that if they can, and they're in a position currently where they can afford to. Most companies are not going to be so gentle.

HN is in denial. Just watch what happens over the next ~36 months.

I'm disengaging from this conversation since you seem unwilling to engage with facts. 60,000 software engineers are not being laid off at microsoft, full stop.

In all likelihood, massive worldwide recession due to combination of oil issues and debt-ai bubble popping. That will be combined with instability due to democracies cracking up, wars popping up faster and faster all the while the richest and most powerful people are increasingly desperate to destroy democracies before it is too late for them.
