Mock Microsoft layoff post: 'I handled 60,000 redundancies and accidentally added myself'

A viral parody post about Microsoft's mass layoffs: the author claims today was their last day at Microsoft, where they 'were responsible for the 60,000 voluntary redundancies' but 'accidentally included myself in the spreadsheet' — accompanied by a photo of the Microsoft campus building.

It's a classic self-deprecating joke riffing on the AI-era tech layoffs, not real news, but widely shared industry humor.
