Microsoft's Xbox division is under fire on social media following significant job cuts. The company plans to eliminate approximately 4,800 positions, with 1,600 of those impacting its gaming unit. This announcement comes shortly after Microsoft received approval to hire over 2,200 foreign workers via H-1B visas. Critics argue this indicates a preference for foreign labor over domestic employees, leading to accusations of prioritizing cost savings. Microsoft maintains that these decisions are business-driven and that H-1B employees were also affected by the layoffs.
