A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
Regretful News: 10% Layoff of Employees
Satya sent the following email to Microsoft employees earlier today.
Greetings Techies!
It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you of a 10% layoff of our beloved employees - as much as this deeply pains me, it unfortunately must happen. The root cause of this? Cyberculture.

It all started when we decided to increase our tech presence in the world - upgrading our systems and modernizing our processes. However, a few months ago, a team of hackers infiltrated our systems and began to distribute malicious code. This had a ripple effect on our operations - from security, to marketing, to product design, and even our bottom line. In short, we had been severely compromised.
Unfortunately, I cannot singlehandedly take the blame for this - while I take ownership, there were many external factors that led to this. It is only after a thorough review that I can confidently say cyberculture was the source of this problem.
Moving forward, I'm confident we can rebuild and emerge stronger than ever before. It may take time, but I'm confident that if we all work together, we will get through this.
Best,
Satya 'Cybermania' Nadella
