Teams and Outlook crashed and workers were soooo sad about it – 14 funny reactions
As part of a decimation of the tech workforce in recent months, last week saw Microsoft lay off 10,000 of its workforce – many without warning.
Tech giants are firing:
Microsoft: 10,000
Google: 12,000
Amazon: 18,000— World of Statistics (@stats_feed) January 20, 2023
The company found itself in the spotlight again on Wednesday, when its products failed to work for some people.

There wasn’t exactly a weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth from all quarters.
These were some of many funny reactions we spotted.

I'm impressed. Slack went down for thousands of users yesterday afternoon and it normally takes far longer for Teams to copy Slack https://t.co/9UdjCfLpf6

Got that same feeling you used to get when your mate's mum rang you to say the boilers had broken at primary school. https://t.co/wSaDSq4RPc
