Xbox Maker Microsoft Lays Off Its DEI Team As Video Game Industry Continues Its Correction
Microsoft follows Meta, Zoom, and Google in removing DEI infestation
Microsoft has laid off its DEI team in another blow to parasitical grifters who are upending the video game industry. In the wake of fentanyl addict and criminal George Floyd’s death in 2020, many tech companies exploited the civil unrest that followed to implement anti-white programs, going so far as to form DEI teams specifically assigned to develop and implement these anti-white programs.
Microsoft’s latest DEI report indicates that “As of September 2023, inside the US, all racial and ethnic minority groups who are rewards eligible combined earn $1.007 total pay for every $1.000 earned by US rewards-eligible white employees with the same job title and level and considering tenure. Specifically, for those who are rewards eligible, US Black and African American employees earn $1.004; Hispanic and Latinx employees earn $1.004; and Asian employees earn $1.012 for every $1.000 earned by US rewards-eligible white employees with the same job title and level and considering tenure. As of September 2023, inside the US, women who are rewards eligible earn $1.007 total pay for every $1.000 earned by rewards-eligible employees who are men and have the same job title and level and considering tenure.”
But while these DEI team leeches may have been successful in undermining white male employees in tech companies, it does nothing at best and totally destroy the bottom line at worst. In February, it was reported that Zoom Video Communications Inc. fired a team of workers focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, while Google and Meta had already made cuts to DEI programs in 2023. The obvious fact of the matter is that these DEI programs don’t add any value to companies in helping them produce products or raise their profits.
Now, it has been reported that Microsoft has laid off an internal team focused on diversity, equity, and inclusion. The team leader, obviously upset that his DEI team’s leeching has ended, blamed Microsoft for a lack of investment in the DEI team’s efforts. He allegedly wrote to thousands of Microsoft employees in an email: “True systems-change work associated with DEI programs everywhere are no longer business critical or smart as they were in 2020,” and added: “The team was eliminated because of "changing business needs" as of July 1.” It is not clear how many Microsoft employees will be laid off.
This is another sign of trouble for woke video game corporations, as Microsoft has already gone through two rounds of layoffs involving their video game productions in 2024 so far. They also have cut several video game studios they acquired, such as Bethesda subsidiary studios Arkane Studios and Tango Gameworks.
Even to woke tech companies, it is becoming ever apparent that the DEI grift is only sustainable for so long as the companies that the DEI parasites are leeching off make enough profit to sustain the grift.
Let us know in the comments what you think about the Microsoft DEI team being laid off. Make sure to restack this post so more people see it!

If you've been following news about BRIDGE, this is likely more of a "going undercover" than true abandonment. Lawsuits have spooked a lot of companies. A Vtuber of all people has been digging like a dog after skeletons on BRIDGE, Kirsche Verstahl's her name. Normally vtubers are just entertainment or political of the toothless abnormal kind, but she's been doing mental documenting of the switchover from DEI initiatives to BRIDGE. Basic rundown is you don't need a DEI department if you intend to force the company workers to do the wokework themselves.
That said, there's a lot of factions at play among the evil overlords. Some people have claimed that a pullback from 'woke' is going to be part of a larger effort of getting people willing to die in war against China, or some manner of desperate pullback in order to maintain power. Assuming that there's competent evil overlords these days is a big ask though. Competency crisis has reached the wicked too, and bribable businessmen and politicians don't call the shots.
All this from video games, the ride hasn't ended yet...
I am hoping for more shareholder lawsuits against these companies. A double-hit to the bottom line. Yes, shareholders will suffer in the short term, but naughty children if not punished for behavior just become bolder and naughtier.
