So far, no one that I know has been canned. There's been a lot of fear and discussion, of course, especially over at Mini-Microsoft. Personally, I'm amazed at the negativity over there: the general sentiment seems to be that Microsoft's layoffs are a sign of what a shitty, stupid company it is. Let's be honest: layoffs are never fun. Is there a way these layoffs could have been handled that would've left people feeling great about everything? Probably not.
My only hope with regard to the layoffs is that we are firing the right 5,000 people. There are a lot of great employees here who don't deserve a pink slip and may get one anyway.
