Microsoft Employee Morale Hits ’All-Time Low’ Amid Layoffs and AI Uncertainty

Microsoft's workforce faces mounting discontent as layoffs, return-to-office mandates, and strategic pivots foster a 'culture of fear.' Shares nonetheless edged higher Friday, suggesting investors view the turbulence as necessary for reinvention.
CEO Satya Nadella's recent allusion to Digital Equipment Corporation's collapse underscores existential anxieties. The once-dominant DEC was rendered obsolete by IBM—a cautionary tale now driving Microsoft's aggressive AI bets at the expense of employee stability.
'Morale is at an all-time low,' say insiders, as legacy products like Office and Azure face existential questions in the AI era. Nadella's fixation on avoiding DEC's fate appears to justify the company's hardline restructuring.
