“who should we lay off first”
CEOs:
BREAKING: Microsoft, $MSFT, is offering buyouts to 60,000 workers as part of the company’s efforts to cut costs amid AI adoption, per Bloomberg.
Personnel on select teams in the US, Canada, India, and the UK at a vice president level and below will be eligible.
This reflects ~27% of Microsoft's total workforce.

In September 1992, Unicode had a problem on Unix. Storing characters as 16-bit values could introduce zero bytes that C programs mistook for string terminators. Earlier encodings had compatibility problems of their own.
One evening, Ken Thompson and Rob Pike went to a diner in New Jersey. Thompson sketched a new encoding on a paper placemat.
ASCII stayed exactly as it was. Other characters used multiple bytes, without accidentally introducing null bytes or Unix path separators.
They went back to Bell Labs and started coding. By Friday, their Plan 9 operating system was running entirely on the new encoding.
They called it UTF-8.
Today, it powers over 99% of websites with known character encodings.

@hvgoenka is an astute businessman. He has sensed the change of wind direction, hence, he's now playing a different tune. Original or not, priority is playing to the gallery. Survival of the fittest!

Turnover of 4207 crs last quarter 4026 and last year 3595
Net profit 242 crs last quarter 375 crs and last year 285
33 subsidiaries and 4 jvs associates
They’re masters in manipulating numbers

There are just no NPAs left in the banking system. What a historic clean up that we have seen since 2018.
Balance sheet of corpoate India remains robust
Even some of the Poor quality banks in the past are reporting GNPAs of less than 1.25% and NNPAs of less than 0.2%. These aren't normal numbers and signal a strengthening balance sheet across corporate India

"I have never in my career seen this quantum of underperformance in such a short period. It has destroyed careers and blown up funds. There are numerous funds that have destroyed 10-yr track records in the last 24 months by simply being overweight India." writes Mr Akash Prakash.
"They've gone full UPA2 on us. "
Pray what similarities exactly between UPA2 and this gang of thieves?
Yeah. Finmin has really screwed up, and the govt is screwing up too.
What you're also seeing as a citizen is:
1. Corruption all around and increasing power of a few entities.
2. Party in power cares only for election results, not national interest
3. Extractive taxation policies and increasing complexity in doing business.
4. Zero accountability among ministers and bureaucrats.
5. Massive uncertainty in and irrationality of govt policies.
They've gone full UPA2 on us.
Additionally given the geopolitical environment, businesses are not focusing on capex. This quarters earnings and forecasts are going to point towards a dire scenario

@nsitharaman @narendramodi - Request you to kindly not tax at least severance pay. This is the bare minimum you can do for honest tax payers.

I think young people should band together and give these oldies a hiding.
