A Microsoft executive producer at Xbox Game Studios has faced backlash after suggesting that laid-off employees use artificial intelligence to cope with their job loss and find career guidance. Matt Turnbull deleted his post, but it remains archived on social media. The idea sparked criticism from industry professionals, who felt Turnbull was insensitive and dismissive of the emotional toll of layoffs. Microsoft’s recent job cuts have affected thousands of staff, including multiple project cancellations at Xbox and ZeniMax Online Studios.
