The Hidden Cost of Layoffs: When Business Decisions Break Lives

Heartbreaking news — a post on Blind reports that three Microsoft employees have died, allegedly linked to the emotional and financial strain of recent layoffs.

Sunguk Moon writes:

“Layoffs have become an unavoidable trend in today’s tech industry. But the human cost behind them deserves more attention.

We may not be able to stop layoffs entirely. Still, companies should think more deeply about how to minimize the harm. Leadership, communication, and support systems all play a role.

I hope more organizations recognize the seriousness of this, not just for business continuity but for people’s lives.”

It’s a sobering reminder: behind every layoff is a person, a story — and sometimes, a tragedy.
