Like when do big mergers like this not end in layoffs? The redundancy in management wouldn't make sense. Like what does the FTC think Microsoft was going to do? 😆

It was more than just managers and redundant positions that were laid off. And it was mostly blizzard employees laid off specifically.

I don't think he was defending the company, more saying that OF COURSE they're going to do big layoffs, it only makes sense, and so if you (the courts) don't stop them, then well... You don't blame a lion for hunting a gazelle, it's just what they do.
