Rumor has it…

There’s a lot of chatter that the Center of Excellence in India isn’t going so well. Work that was moved there seems to be having issues, and U.S. teams are frustrated with the quality and follow-through. I’ve also heard leadership may not be happy with the push to Bangalore and that layoffs there could happen. Curious if anyone knows how true this is.

Microsoft‘s communications chief did something unusual this month. He publicly shot down layoff rumors before they could metastasize.

2026 final layoff numbers…..

Lots of post about not knowing the total layoff numbers for 2026. A few things:

  • There is no final number YET. Layoffs are still happening at least through the end of this month. Maybe into February.

  • Those impacted are technically are garden leave until April 2nd and are still on the payroll.

  • April 2nd, is when the RIF numbers will be in warn and when the media will start to report on it. That’s when you will get the final number of people let go.

No conspiracy or withholding information. That’s how the process works.

10k RIF is the rumor, we will see if it’s true.
