If this were just a trickle of 700 who were eased-out for performance reasons, I would accept your sarcasm. However, this was not easing-out. This was pre-planned. If you google "microsoft mass layoff", it's like they have these pre-ordained layoffs of thousands every year, while their visa certifications are in the low thousands every year. In this case, the 700 is just a single wave of a layoff planned the middle of last year. I am not knocking worker visas here. I am knocking Microsoft's honesty.
