Microsoft looking to remove 60,000 jobs, ~25% of the company, specifically to contain costs around AI. Once again, the workers are held accountable for executive decisions. Socialize the losses.

The true socialization will come when they get tax breaks or even subsidies.

This bubble is going to pop and then suddenly every tech company is too big to fail and every exec will be given a golden parashute. Atleas that is what the future looks like if we let them decide. I'd argue for some good French style justice and socialising profits and stolen assets

Stock options are incredible tax dodges, used to be even better.

Let's not get hasty. Maybe CEO Nadella's bonus for this year will be less than $10 million. Imagine getting your annual bonus cut by a million dollars. Rich people feel pain, too. ^/s^
