The thousands of people who have been fired from Microsoft are not the only ones to suffer from this situation. They will certainly be comforted to know that the last ax in the staff of the group “weighs deeply” on their former boss, Satya Nadella. The latter published a memo to take stock of the situation in Microsoft … and to underline the success of the company.
Microsoft brought two stab on the back of the 9,000 (ex-) employees recently dismissed. The first stab is the abolition of their post of course, while the current situation of the economy and the labor market are very complicated. The second stab was planted by Satya Nadella In a memo posted yesterday.
Satya Nadella also suffers
Microsoft’s CEO first indicated what weighed on it ” deeply »: Layers. These are the decisions ” The most difficult to take [qui] Touch people with whom we have worked, learned, shared countless moments – our colleagues, our teammates, our friends. “The leader also says” deeply grateful The work accomplished by the people who had to take the door.
These are statements that will undoubtedly make a beautiful leg to the main interested parties, which will also appreciate ” the inconsistency »Que Pointe Satya Nadella. ” On all objective indicators, Microsoft is doing very well: our performance on the market, our strategic positioning, our growth are all upwards oriented “He rejoices. A good health which therefore justified the wave of layoffs: ” And yet, at the same time, we have proceeded to layoffs », Points the CEO.
For Satya Nadella, that’s ” all the paradox of success in a sector that has no situation rent». So you have to fire when it goes badly, and dismiss when it is fine. Difficult to follow and frankly demoralizing for the small hands of large companies.
The manager also establishes the three priorities of Microsoft: security and quality, which are deemed essential and ” non -negotiable », And of course artificial intelligence. The question of the safety of Microsoft systems has also returned in force in the news in recent days with attacks linked to flaws in SharePoint.

Regarding AI, Satya Nadella is not lacking in ambition. The objective is no longer only to create software, but to allow everyone – individuals as organizations – to create their own tools thanks to AI. This vision transforms Microsoft of a “software factory” into an “intelligence engine”.
« Imagine if the 8 billion humans could call on a researcher, an analyst or a developer of a simple gesture – not only to obtain information, but to use their expertise in order to concretely achieve things useful for them. »
Microsoft compares this period to the explosion of PCs in the 1990s. With today, the same potential for transformation around AI.
