Fired and layoffs are a distinction that no worker cares about, I'm sure he'd rather be working than getting laid off for "performance reasons."

If you were ever given the option to collect unemployment insurance, this includes taking a severance package where you stipulate to not pursue unemployment insurance, then you were fired.

It's also important to always note that these companies do not care about their workers, they will extract you dry and throw you out.

It’s an important distinction because being fired suggests a fault on the part of the employee. Despite what you appear to suggest, there is no public information suggesting that this person was laid off for performance related reasons.

Again, what you think about Microsoft, or big tech companies in general, is completely irrelevant here. You’re spreading false information about someone. It would cost you nothing simply to stop doing it.
