FTC is doing its job and has been fighting this from the beginning. Need the courts to do their job and side with the FTC.

Microsoft lawyer Rakesh Kilaru wrote that Microsoft was already considering layoffs before the merger.

Corporate gaslighting at it’s finest. we planned to layoff ~1000 employees from the company we were acquiring before we agreed not to do that!
