Smh. People be disrespecting Grandmama. That’s not cool.

Like almost all things broken here, Republicans in our legislature would need to get out of the way for that to happen.

Hearing every noise and being ready to over analyze has to be worth something, right?

Yep. They’re having engine issues lately. But it’s easy clicks for the news to shit on Boeing right now.

Some rotation of Paul Van Dyk, Tiesto, Ferry Corsten, Armin Van Buuren, or Sasha and John Digweed albums.

A big factor is Lemmy was setup by tankies for tankies. So the constant spam of negative news about _______ western nation is on brand.

Had pancreatitis because of his diet. A diet in which he thought would magically avoid creating body odor.

It turned into cancer. He lucked out that it was a rare form of treatable pancreatic cancer with a 90% survival rate 5 years out. Which is abnormal as most forms of pancreatic are essentially a death sentence. Survival rate past 3 years is under 10% for the more common variants.

Stuck to his diet anyway. Ignored his doctors. Died to an illness he had a 90% chance of beating because he knew better.

Same. Lost all interest when Palmer sold out to Zuck.

You joke but it’s not terribly far off.

Their real hope was to get Hyundai Kia to build EVs for them. While letting Apple act like they were the majority stakeholder of the deal.

His pay was $300k something. So it was almost all stock. To convert his ownership stake into shares ahead of the IPO as you mentioned.

He supposedly owns around 3-4% of Reddit. And they’re trying to IPO at an initial valuation of $5B. So when that goes to shit like it probably will this theoretical $192M drops dramatically.

A Republican is grand standing about information he’s being briefed on during a meeting scheduled for tomorrow.

So my Spidey sense says no. There is no reason to do what Turner did today. Unless you’re an idiot. Or you want to indirectly tell people such a briefing is happening.

Lately it means they tried, failed, but want people to think they’re still as capable as the Soviet Union. Which they aren’t. Haven’t been for decades. Much of Soviet engineering might came from Ukraine. It’s part of why Pootin so desperately wants to subjugate them again.

Wasting your breath tankie. I don’t really care what bullshit you decide to repeat. Hell I’m even cool with idiots like you underestimating.

Have fun watching Russia field T55’s. Not have air superiority over a nation with hard any jets. Losing it’s navy to a country without any boats.

Europe will be just fine.

Eh that’s not the issue here. Old Harpoon missile was phased out last year. Before planned replacement from Sweden was available. The “scandal” is people not planning ahead to cover that gap.

New missiles built in Sweden are already on at least one of these particular boats. And another UK designed cruise missile is in the works. So in the meantime, the UK is running attack flights instead.

It’s not really the L tankie boy was trying for with this post. I get for those people it’s difficult to understand having overlapping layers of capability.

Nope. They’re conflating Microsoft layoffs a year ago as being part of a different round announced today. The 10k people let go in January of 2023 are long gone. They can’t fire them again now. Especially so since the 1900 just announced today have only been Microsoft employees since October.

Dude you’re so confused right now.

You’re suggesting layoffs announced today, within ActiBlizz teams, were preemptively carried out by Microsoft a year ago, 10 months before the merger closed and the ActiBlizz team was even part of Microsoft?

What you posted was at Microsoft itself. That story is from January 2023.

The ActiBlizz deal didn’t close until October 2023.

lol no. 50 might just cover ActiBlizz accounts payable department.

I work for a similar sized company now. We have around 300 just in Finance. Another nearly that many in accounting. When companies get this big they have a lot of spending and assets to track.

Then you get into Marketing, Sales, HR, etc. I’d confidently bet 90% of the 1900 roles were corporate administration. I’ve personally gone through this process multiple times. I’ve even been part of making consolidation decisions for a few of them.

Edit: What you experienced will happen. But as phase 2.

Layoffs after this size of merger are pretty typical. The number of people seems high, but it might be due to Activision’s own acquisitions over the years.

First round of layoffs after a merger is consolidation of corporate administrative functions. ActiBlizz finance, accounting, HR, etc is no longer needed. Microsoft already has all those needs covered. And it wouldn’t surprise me to learn ActiBlizz had a lot of administrative bloat.

Most of the knowledge workers will be kept for now. Will be future cuts there as objectives are finalized and staff needed becomes clear.
