Days, no. But sometime in the next 6 months things are going to get pretty tight.

Tech has gone through many, many, downsizings not directly related to the overall economy. Mostly it happens due to piss poor management or some change in manufacturing or productivity (moving engineering to other countries for example).

Microsoft has been long overdue for a major correction, but this is far from their first round. Big tech companies end up with too many of one skill and not enough of another, and they aren't transferable.

While I don't disagree with anyone on the direction of the economy, the MS move isn't really a harbinger of anything except high tech moving bodies around.

High tech sharecropping ain't what it used to be.

As for not getting paid, it's the new trump management style being adopted. Never stop negotiating; never pay what you agree to pay; never pay on time; sue anyone who complains.

Lol, she acts as if she provides some essential service and it's some kind of economic indicator.

In reality it's because Micro$oft invested too much in their tablet/smartphone development and they're just not competing against Android and iOS.

If everyone did it, this would be the end of our economy. Therefore, no one must be allowed to do it.

The breaking of the employee/employer compact has done nothing but bad things to our country.

Watch what happens to Illinois pensioners, ugh. Too many cans kicked down the road.

If corporations and their stockholders won't treat workers with respect, why should workers keep treating corporations with respect?

I say it's time to raise taxes and end their legalized political bribery privileges.

The two product lines they've focused a massive amount of time and money into aren't performing, hence they're cutting staff.

No big Bernout conspiracy, put your retard-pistols away.

Life is full of trade offs. No respect, and you should go elsewhere. Sometimes hard to do.

Why? I was merely asking.

I mean our President is allowed to grab women by the pussy, why can't I ask to reveal my tiny private parts?

If you try apply logic to it, you're approaching it wrong.

That's not what the article says..how is it you know a reality no one else knows?

You could make a nice living off that magic.
