| Posters on the Mini-Microsoft site had their own theories.
|
| "RIFs in this company do not and will not happen company wide," said
| one anonymous poster on Mini-Microsoft. "They will happen on a group by
| group basis. For those of you in underperforming groups that are incapable
| of shipping a decent product, be worried. For those of you in bloated
| groups that actually ship, you're probably safe. For those of you in
| lean, mean groups that ship products regularly and frequently, I would
| love to work for Google too :-)."
