These layoff articles are incomplete without mentioning how many they hired and when. This brings Microsoft back to their staffing levels of when exactly? March 2021?
- clintonb 4y agoWhat’s the relevance of knowing a previous employee count? How does this information “complete” the story?
- ironick09 4y agoBelieve it or not, like the stock market, employee headcount doesn’t only go up, it goes down too.
- matsemann 4y agoBecause if they hired for instance 30 000 people the last two years, 11 000 brings them back a year or so. If however 11 000 is the headcount they've grown the last 10 years, it's a much more dramatic sign.
- 33955985 4y agoIf your friend told you they lost $10,000 in the stock market today, would you feel bad for them? What if they then told you that they're up $500,000 over the past year? How about then?
