Microsoft Bucks Rolling In as Workers Roll Out

Aug 4, 2025

This summer, Microsoft Corporation laid off some 9,000 workers, following at least 6,000 layoffs in May. More than 15,000 decent-paying jobs are gone, while the corporation showed a first quarter profit of 70 BILLION dollars.

That’s one corporation making almost 6 billion dollars per week in profit. Then this same corporation laid off thousands in the following months.

Follow the money: Layoffs for workers, billions in the pockets of big capitalists.
