MICROSOFT'S BIG STICK ERA

Summary from the TLDR Founders newsletter

Microsoft is prepping another round of layoffs targeting "thousands" of sales roles after cutting 6,000 jobs in May despite 13% revenue growth and spending $107 million daily on shareholders. The company feels secure enough to play hardball with OpenAI. It is reportedly willing to walk away from restructuring talks and let the partnership expire in 2030 rather than bend to demands.
