This round of cuts would be significantly larger than last year’s staff reductions at Microsoft, where 1% of the workforce (roughly 2,000 people) lost their jobs.

Egg prices in the US have risen by 60% in December 2022 YoY due to the ongoing bird flu outbreak that has infected nearly 58 million birds, making it the deadliest outbreak in US history.
