Summary: Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) requirements, as per the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act of 1988, mean that Microsoft’s attempts to hide layoffs in the US are curtailed a bit (for workers who are not “temps” or contractors — many of them are not “permanent” status and they’re made redundant silently); there have been many Microsoft layoffs so far this week, but the mainstream media focuses only on “LinkedIn” while Microsoft slips out (or hands out) the pink slips; Portugal too is impacted [1, 2], but nobody in English-speaking media bothers covering that; Microsoft’s “advertising” budget (bribes) keeps reporters on a short leash
