Laid-off Microsoft staffers told to use AI tools to manage their emotions
Briefly

Microsoft is set to lay off over 9,000 employees. Xbox producer Matt Turnbull recommended that those affected utilize AI tools for assistance with resume writing, career planning, and job searching. Despite mixed feelings about generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Turnbull emphasized their potential benefits in aiding individuals during tough times. He reassured those impacted that they are not alone in their struggles and highlighted that while AI tools cannot substitute personal experiences, they can provide necessary support by enhancing efficiency and clarity in the job search process.
These are really challenging times, and if you're going through a layoff or even quietly preparing for one, you're not alone and you don't have to go through it alone.
No AI tool can replace your voice or your life experiences. But at a time when mental energy is scarce, these tools can help you move forward faster, calmer, and with greater clarity.
