In all fairness, Microsoft really did layed off low double digit % of workforce since 2022.

The total populace did not change, because it was replaced by new "talent".

You are right, thank you. I suspect they would have layed off people in certain areas to milk the cow, while invested in hiring talent in areas of growth. Still no evident correlation between layoffs and the current blackout incident mostly affecting the Cloud business.
