> they fired many staff engineers
Would you rather the company went under after it ran out of money and had to fire everyone instead? Not to mention a quarter of the company was laid off the year before the acquisition.
Was that the case? Can you provide sources to your claims and provide a foundation to your theories?

Year before the MSFT takeover. No idea about their actual financials but they were definitely shedding headcount pre 2020, including kicking people for trying to unionise.
Nothing in there suggests that this was done to save the company from bankruptcy, which was the wild claim.

It's literally a Google search away. If you had the time to write this comment, you had more than enough time to do the search.
Not my job to proof the wild claim that the layoffs were to save the company from bankruptcy .

Uhh, I'd expect the trillion dollar transnational corporation to do right by it's workers rather than rat fucking them to appease corporate do-nothing leeches if I'm being frank.

No, and that's why we must destroy them. Figuratively then literally.
