It's official. And in words of Satya (new version of Satya Nadella in 2023, if I may say - Satya 2.0), "it's Showtime"

"overall reduction of workforce by 10,000 through Q3 2023" when read in conjunction with "continued hiring in strategic areas" means the actual number of layoffs will be much larger (to result in net 10,000 in 9 months!). $1.2 Billion earmarked for severance is savage. Satya 2.0 woke up today and chose violence.
