Major layoffs are going on at Microsoft, where around 10,000 people have lost their jobs. This comprises a little less than 5% of the company's total workforce, with layoffs affecting multiple Xbox studios and Bethesda. While the specifics of which divisions suffered the most aren't confirmed, according to a report from Bloomberg, Halo developer 343 Industries was "hit hard". Currently, 343 has been working on content updates for Halo Infinite, and insider reports are claiming that going forward, they won't be in charge of the Halo franchise anymore, while another affected studio, The Coalition, had unannounced projects in the works. Severance packages will be offered to the outgoing employees, which will cost Microsoft about $1.2 billion. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella claims that this decision was "difficult, but necessary", and that right now is "showtime" for Microsoft, and that the company and brand need to raise the bar in order to outdo the competition.

Damn that sucks for sure. I hope for what its worth, the 343 and Rare are put down, or at least just the former, seeing as to how incompetent they are compared to Bungie.

Or they don't want to get their lungs and eyes fucked after 5 years.

*your shot, not you're. Are you sure your brain wasn't affected?

Not everyone wears a respirator, because employers are cheap or the workers classify it as unnecessary, despite evidence of the opposite.

if (you are) you're to dumb to not protect yourself, that's on you...i've know "manly" men who think wearing one is waste of there time...i do not feel that way...if you dont know the dangers than maybe you shouldn't be in the field...that's not a job responsibility (as much as i want it to be) it's a personal one...still, its a wired flex you got going on here...or maybe it's fear...

look i'm not sure what your problem is with welding, but i'm moving on here...good luck at life
