Microsoft lawyer Rakesh Kilaru wrote that Microsoft was already considering layoffs before the merger.

Corporate gaslighting at it's finest. we planned to layoff ~1000 employees from the company we were acquiring before we agreed not to do that!

It's not too late to do your job, FTC

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

FTC is doing its job and has been fighting this from the beginning. Need the courts to do their job and side with the FTC.

In other news: The FTC won’t do Jack shit about it.

FTC wants to do things but is entirely toothless. More news at 11.

Maybe they’ll shake up the customer care which treats players like shit.
