An anonymous reader shares a report: The sweeping layoffs announced by
Microsoft this week have been especially hard on its gaming studios, but one
Xbox executive has a solution to "help reduce the emotional and cognitive
load that comes with job loss": seek advice from AI chatbots. In a now-
deleted LinkedIn post captured by Aftermath, Xbox Game Studios' Matt Turnbull

cancellations, services being shuttered, studio closures, and job cuts across
key Xbox divisions as Microsoft lays off as many as 9,100 employees across
the company. Turnbull acknowledged that people have some "strong feelings"

career planning, and applying for new roles.
