Leaked Post Blames Microsoft 365 Outage on Laid-Off Senior Engineers, AI Wrapper Push
Kyrannio · x · 2026-11-14
A widely shared post attributed to an internal Microsoft India engineer claims the slow Microsoft 365 outage fix reflects a 2026 pattern at Big Tech: executives lay off the senior engineers who built core infrastructure, give remaining staff sub-5% raises, refuse promotions for "boring" reliability work, and force half-baked AI wrappers to ship — leaving no one able to fix production at 3 AM. Unverified, but it sparked broad industry debate.
