"Microsoft’s recently-reported plan to eliminate 1,900 jobs in its video game division, including in its newly-acquired Activision unit, contradicts the foregoing representations it made to this Court," the FTC's complaint said. "Specifically, Microsoft reportedly has stated that the layoffs were part of an 'execution plan' that would reduce 'areas of overlap' between Microsoft and Activision, which is inconsistent with Microsoft’s suggestion to this Court that the two companies will operate independently post-merger."

FTC has filed a notice to the US Court of Appeals that Microsoft laying off 1,900 employees of ABK “contradicts” the company’s statements

Our government should be more proactive in regulating huge corporations that fuck over their employees. California is... but the rest of the country hate us for it an "haha" us when big companies leave.

We need at least two threads for every snippet of news if it relates to Microsoft. That's the rule this week.

The layoffs resulting from it might actually make FTC do something for a change.

We're gonna have a thread for every sentence in Phil's statement. If it's only a few sentences, make it every word.

Yeah, this is in relation to their months old application for an injunction to give them more time to review, and months later they still have nothing.

Considering where Xbox is in the barrel, they clearly know what they're doing.
