I recently applied to a lot of Microsoft jobs because they’re hiring a lot, but I don’t know why they are. I’m just confused to why they are laying off dozens but then hiring dozens again. It’s like every month I hear that they laid off like 2k or more employees. Is this just a trial and error? Like what is the point? I’m just confused because I know if I get hired I should definitely prepare to see a lay off wave but, if anyone has insight that’s in Microsoft, do you guys know? And are these jobs just ghost jobs for Microsoft?
