Microsoft reported double-digit growth year over year in the Surface and Xbox division but laid off 1900 people at the start of the year. The role of a corporation is to earn money for its shareholders, and part of doing that is cutting costs. Labor is a cost. So jobs get cut. Seems like a plausible cause and effect situation to me.
