He never said that, he just pointed out a statistic. You choose to assume that. Please top braking HN rules by assuming bad faith.

HN rules state: "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith."

> Microsoft lays off 1,500 workers

This is a heading of interest since we all are concerned about being laid off.

> That's less than 1% of their workforce

Focuses on how the lay offs look from the perspective of the company.

> No problem for those people to suffer then

Points out that looking at it from the company focus omits the negative impacts lay offs have on on individuals

I mean we are having a conversation here and not just listing factlets, right? So do you really see any bad faith in the above?
