My Prompts

Happy Friday, everyone!

Welcome back!

I hope this message finds you well.

I had the pleasure of attending the M365 conference in Las Vegas last week. It was an incredible experience where I had the opportunity to engage with our customers, understand their needs, and discuss how we can continue to improve our offerings. One of the highlights of the conference was delivering a highly valued session on Microsoft Security Copilot. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and it was great to see the enthusiasm and interest in our security solutions.

Addressing the elephant in the room.

The latest round of layoffs at Microsoft—impacting around 6,000 employees—is a stark reminder of the shifting tides in the tech industry. These cuts span various roles, including software developers, product managers, and technical program managers, as the company refocuses on artificial intelligence and streamlining operations.

For those affected, this moment is more than just a career transition—it’s a profound upheaval. Many dedicated professionals, who have poured their expertise and passion into shaping Microsoft’s innovations, now find themselves navigating uncertainty. As one former employee put it, “No matter how hard you work, how much you advocate for your company, or how much results and visibility you bring… none of that makes you immune to restructuring”.

Layoffs are never just numbers; they represent livelihoods, aspirations, and the ripple effects on families and communities. While Microsoft continues to invest heavily in AI and future technologies, it’s important to acknowledge the human cost of these decisions. To those impacted—your contributions mattered, and your next chapter holds promise. The tech world is vast, and your skills will find new ground to flourish.

…

That’s it from me for this week. Have a great week ahead.

Talk soon.
