Only in America could Microsoft announce a $27 billion quarterly profit while slashing over 10,000 jobs and still call for 'intensity, clarity, and bold execution.' CFO Amy Hood’s email cheerfully doubles down on a 'growth-mindset culture' even as CEO Satya Nadella tries to spin this job cut-riddle as the 'enigma of success.' Meanwhile, employees wonder if 'intensity' means working harder or just working with fewer coworkers. Hood, ignoring the layoffs, reminded staff that Azure revenue topped $75 billion, adding spine-tingling clarity to the corporate buzzword bingo: 'the pace of change and customer expectations are continuously accelerating.' Ah, capitalism, real American style!
