Okay... so, where is the article that states this? Everyone is either celebrating or crying over an event that no one has even shown to be fact yet...

It all started with rumors from the blog Mini-Microsoft. (everyone knows blog rumors are always true!)

The rumor has come from other sources as well.

The layoff bug about to hit Microsoft?

The software giant has thus far avoided the layoffs that some of its competitors have had to succumb to in the rough economic climate, but that’s about to change, according to the blog Mini-Microsoft. They’re hearing January 15 could be the day it goes down, and we have a seperate source hearing the same thing. On that day the bottom “10 percent-ers” (presumably, those performing the worst) could be gone — as many as 5,000 to 10,000 employees. Damn.

 

Ah, well that's better.

I was only saying that because, around here, with the fanboyism, we often get threads of "rumors" started that are simply made up in the thread poster's mind... so people start to panic or celebrate over nothing.
