This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Dude you're so confused right now.
You're suggesting layoffs announced today, within ActiBlizz teams, were preemptively carried out by Microsoft a year ago, 10 months before the merger closed and the ActiBlizz team was even part of Microsoft?
Not if you read carefully. Slow down. Pay attention.
Nope. They're conflating Microsoft layoffs a year ago as being part of a different round announced today. The 10k people let go in January of 2023 are long gone. They can't fire them again now. Especially so since the 1900 just announced today have only been Microsoft employees since October.
