Former MS employee here. One of the first layoffs I'm aware of was within a year after I quit the company. I heard they were streamlining the organization and clearing out "deadwood". One of my managers there had been a complete drone - in six months he had given me close to ZERO work to do - maybe 3 weeks worth, max. I figured he finally would have been let go, but nope... he was still there, no doubt practicing his excellence as before. What a zoo.
