Even Oprah would have to step outside for a breather, this is just too much heart! Why oh why didn't they televise this!

[balls of snow]

It keeps getting worse.
The audacity is awe inspiring.

 

[Jesb]

I'd make a video of me setting it on fire. Than saying hope you burn too.

 

[Kenneth Haight]

It more than likely was sent before the layoff or by a department that wasn't behind the layoff or at least unaware layoffs were about to happen.

I think Phil Spencer ordered it on purpose just for a laugh

 

[Fake]

Not even the devil are so evil.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

wow. They treat their former employees very well

 

[locoghoul]

I would take a shit in it and send it back.

I wouldn't even wipe my ass with that

[Joramun]

That's next level trolling lol

 

[user friendly]

Feel the burn branded controller in the backpack?

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

It is funny (or more tragicomical) that even games about corporate stupidity like Outer Worlds or Cyberpunk never came up with ghoulish scenarios like this. Because even in parody writers do have empathy.

Unlike corporate husks like Bond or Spencer.

 

[digital_ghost]

Microjoke is using ex employees as free advertising. I'm sure that will turn out well MS.

 

[Solarstrike]

At least send some Fable merch with that to hype the upcoming game up. Fking hell man, Microsoft execs have no clue.

 

[Little Chicken]

This is so touching and beautiful. Nice one, MS

 

[MALpractice311]

MS is just slaying it this week, aren't they?

 

[EDMIX]

Be like "how ima feed my family with this shit?"

 

[Little Chicken]

Same breed as MS executives

Microsoft Hosted Sting Performance in Davos on Night Before Announcing Layoffs

On Tuesday evening, Microsoft hosted an event. It was an intimate gathering of 50 or so people, including the company’s top executives, who got to while away the evening listening to a performance by the musical artist Sting, said people familiar with the event. The concert would end up sounding a

I can't believe I was a shameless fan for these clowns back in the 360 Era.

Seriously, fuck them and the quicker Phil and company dismantles Xbox unintentionally, the better.

 

[ShadowkillXNA]

This is the same company whose xbox brazil office fired a female host after she was the victim of a sexual harassment campaign and threats from the fanbase.
Xbox sent her a xbox series x as compensation.

[ShadowkillXNA]

Funny, but it was obviously sent to everyone before the layoffs.

[LordCBH]

Wonder if there is a free year of Gamepass in that bag or if MS expected their now former employees to pay lol

 

[feynoob]

Welcome to the world of the rich little chicken.

Don't make me get the deflect.gif out again

 

[Barakov]

A few days ago:

This fucking company.

 

[Solidus_T]

A gift to thank them for all of the value they created for shareholders ♥

 

[Moriarty1889]

Phil, Sarah and Matt can take their merchandise and shove it up their ass. What gall these people have…..it's like rubbing salt in a fresh wound. Total assholes!

 

[Kerotan]

I wouldn't even wipe my arse with it.

It's like Putin sending the families of his dead soldiers a bag of potatoes.

 

[havoc00]

How do I get them to send me a swag bag ?

 

[ComputerBlue]

LOLOLOLOL be our walking billboard while we just dry fucked you.

Worst company.

 

[willothedog]

I wouldn't even wipe my arse with it.

It's like Putin sending the families of his dead soldiers a bag of potatoes.

Or a visit from Jim Ryan a week before he fires everyone...

 

[SHA]

Didn't they release the 'feel the burn' controller same day as layoff announcement.

Feel it, it's so satisfying

 

[kiphalfton]

Hey, here's a reminder of the place that fired you.

 

[Barakov]

Or a visit from Jim Ryan a week before he fires everyone...

 

[DavidGzz]

Here's a bag to pack up your shit, GTFO.

 

[ChiefDada]

5 yr old me thanks you for this

 

[Dacvak]

How do I get them to send me a swag bag ?

Just work for them until you inevitably get fired. Should only take a few months.

 

[BlackTron]

When they drop the console these will be collector's items.

Exactly, these ex-employees should be grateful that Microsoft left them with an investment for their future.

 

[yet_another_alt]

They should be thankful that it wasn't cash on delivery.

 

[Rayderism]

There's always the slim possibility that MS didn't really want to lay them off, but had no choice under the circumstances that led to it, and maybe they truly feel bad that it had to be done.

Yeah, let's think that.

 

[Portugeezer]

Literally getting the "sack"

 

[Buggy Loop]

This thread's package gift + feel the burn controller confirms that Microsoft has psychopaths in management of the Xbox division

Like of course, you don't become a $3T company by the goodness of your heart and empathy, but it's so obvious this week

Sick peoples

Sarah Bond, Matt Booty, Phil Spencer : psychopaths, all of them

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

No jar of honey from Rare though . . . cheap asses.

 

[Fabieter]

This feels like they making fun of them. Jesus!

 

[IAmRei]

Adding salt ro wound? Just to remember who is the one for layoff them?

 

[Sorcerer]

I guess free Gamepass subs were terminated.

 

[reinking]

Okay. I am not going to shit on MS for this one. Most likely, those gifts were probably labeled and shipped by a department that had no idea these people were about to be laid off. I mean, is it a kick to the nuts? Yes. Was it an accidental kick? I believe so.
