If you have been working in a company for 25 years and suddenly you are thrown out of the company one day, then how will you feel. One such incident remains a matter of discussion on social media these days. The biggest thing is that this time the pain of getting out of the job has not been told by the employee himself, but his wife has expressed it.
What is the whole matter?
Posting on the social media platform reddit, a woman wrote, “My husband worked for 25 years in Microsoft. Never taken a holiday, even worked from home even when he was ill. He helped her colleagues one day and night, he took an on-call shift on festivals, never asked for promotion … But now a computer algorithm took them out.”
According to the woman, her husband is struggling with autism and she also has multiple sclerosis. Despite this, he never lagged behind his responsibilities. But his service suddenly ended with the “random selection” of an algorithm and that too just before his 48th birthday.
Microsoft’s big trimming
In fact, on 13 May 2025, Microsoft pruning about 6,000 employees. According to the company, this decision was taken to increase its AI investment and remove the ‘unnecessary management layer’. This was the second largest pruning in the history of Microsoft. Over 2,000 people lost jobs in the US state of Washington alone. The company says that it wants the employee to focus on more valu-edited works.
AI director also out
Microsoft’s AI Director, Gabriela de Queiroz, was also shown the way out in this trimming. He wrote on X that he is in a heart-breaking situation with this news, but he attended the meeting on the go and said goodbye to everyone. He said that even though his job went away, his optimistic thinking is still alive. He wrote, “There is a gift every day and I still know to smile.”
“No cost of loyalty”
After this retrenchment, Microsoft was fiercely criticized on social media. Many users said that this incident is proof that now there is no use of having emotional connection with a company. A user raised the question, “Did the algorithm targe those who have crossed the age of 40 or who have more health insurance expenses on the company?”
AI’s increasing interference, decreasing importance of humans?
Microsoft argues that the company wants to include more AI in its products and services. CEO Satya Nadella recently said that 30 percent coding in some projects is now being done by AI and a VP asked to take this target up to 50 percent. This is the reason that engineers and senior teams were trimmed to even Leeds, so that machines could handle the works that humans were still doing.
