Ever since January 2023, there have been global tech layoffs around the world. Last week, tech giant Microsoft in an effort to cut costs, laid off more employees to tackle the challenging times, including an Indian-origin worker in the US who was sacked along with his entire team.

Hari S, a principal engineering manager at Microsoft, who spent more than 11 years in the company in Washington, wrote in a LinkedIn post, "With a warm heart, must say goodbye to a great organisation. Having been with Microsoft for 11 years, it pretty much seemed like a family especially when you have seen you have worked together through various Supply Chain product launches, multiple releases, rationalisation of architectures, a humungous number of integrations and efforts to bring in efficiencies within engineering & business processes."
