So I got fired from Microsoft last week, they are downsizing and let around 100 from the staff go, kept 12 from my department. Last year around this time we were 200 people working here and as of this week we(they) are 12. In December last year they fired around 80 people, also downsizing, so almost the entire department is shut down.

Why I make this thread? Not sure. Feel a bit bummed at the moment.

Discussion value? Not much I suppose.

Anyhow, this week I started working for Huawei. Wish me luck. :)

Oh that sucks. Good luck with Huawei, they seem to be growing more and more lately.

Great that you were able to land on your feet (so quickly) !

Thats great you got another job so fast. What division of MS were you in?

Thanks! Yeah I was a bit lucky there. Just as I was let go, Huawei hired a lot of new staff. Just a shame I have further to my new office. :)

I am happy that you found a job so quickly. 我不认识华为，是什么？再见！
Sorry if that is incorrect, I really need to practice my Chinese more.

A W8 department, PC and WP. The 12 left are going to work in a new Xbox department, should open on July 7th .

Good luck with your new job! Hopefully everything will be fine!

Thank goodness you have a new job already!

I'll take it anyway.
MS is DOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!

Also, if I may ask, which department where you in and are you in the same at Huawei?
