• So… was Bryan Roper laid off at Microsoft?

    Posted on January 25, 2017 at 15:44 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    A discussion on the TWiT TV live taping today – broadcast tomorrow – made me go back and see if Bryan Roper was laid off, or if he jumped. Or even if he’s still working for Microsoft, for that matter.

    (I still say Bryan’s the best Microsoft presenter I’ve ever seen – certainly the most entertaining. JoeB’s right up there, too, but he’s been out of the limelight for the past 18 months, and Joe’s an engineer, not a pitchman. Actually, a little of both. Nevermind.)

    Anyway, looking back, I see that Roper’s original tweet said:

    As one of the Microsoft folks impacted by layoffs today, my heart, ears, and network go out to anyone else impacted

    Which, in retrospect, doesn’t exactly say “I got da boot.”

    There are reports everywhere that he was laid off – dozens of news items, from all around the world. But none of them quote The Man himself.

    Anybody know the whole story?
