    If microsoft stopped producing anything today, they would still make billions per year for many years

      They would, but eventually their competition will overtake them and they will start losing customers and market share. They have to innovate at least a little bit if they wish to stay in the dominant market position that they are in.

        Disagree. All they need is a small army of marketers to keep convincing executive idiots they need to have MS Office 365.

        As long as they have one employee who just constantly renames products, they will be okay.

    To the 9,000, don’t go back if they ask you to. Seriously.

      Nah as far as I’m aware the CEO is not resigning and there are no leadership changes. They’re mostly laying off artists from game studios, software QA, testers, devs they think they can replace with AI vibe coding etc.

        The way Microsoft products feel they really can.

      That would be the C-suite.

      No that’d be the executives, you dickhead. Hey - please remember to breathe.

      The people who make the products shit are probably in leadership, so their jobs are fine. Even if they run the company into the ground, they’ll still be fine with their golden parachutes, already vast wealth, and uncanny ability to fail upward.
