I was laid off from Microsoft after 23 years, and I'm still going into the office. I feel responsible for my team and customers.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Freddy Kristiansen, a 59-year-old former Principal Product Manager at Microsoft's Denmark office who was laid off in May 2025. Business Insider has verified Kristiansen's employment. The following has been edited for length and clarity. A couple of weeks ago, after 23 years at Microsoft, I was laid off. Yet here I am, back in the office. It might sound strange to show up at the office after being let go, but I still feel committed to the products, the people using them, and my colleagues. I was laid off in May, and per Danish law as an employee of over nine years, I have a six-month notice period. I've been relieved of my duties, but I am still officially an employee until the end of November. I'm also entitled to three months of severance pay after my notice. I didn't plan to stay at Microsoft for two decades I was originally hired by Navision in 2002. I saw it as a job I'd stay in for a year or two, but shortly after I joined, Microsoft acquired Navision. From then on, I was a Microsoft employee. That's when I thought, "Maybe this could actually be something long-term." Indeed, it ended up being my professional home for the next 23 years. Over the years, I have held a variety of roles, from group program management to technical evangelist. Although I never had an official developer title, I have been developing products throughout. My last major project was AL-Go for GitHub — a tool that helps our partners use DevOps, a software development approach, in their daily work without needing to understand the complex technical details. I didn't expect to feel relieved when I got laid off I've found the work fulfilling, but around five years ago, I started dreaming of my own business. During the last round of Microsoft layoffs in 2023, I submitted an anonymous question during an all-hands asking if they would consider voluntary redundancies. If the option came up in the future, I might volunteer. It never did. One morning in May this year, I got an invite to a one-on-one meeting with my manager. I said to my wife, "This is it. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be laid off." I thought I might feel upset, but, in reality, it was kind of a relief. Some of my colleagues were devastated. They are worried about what the future might hold. But I'm nearing 60. For the past decade, I've worked very hard and put in long hours. However, I'm at the stage of life where I'm no longer interested in working 60-hour weeks. It felt like the right time to finally pursue my long-overdue dream of doing work on my own terms. During that layoff call with my manager and HR, I wasn't sad; I was already thinking about what I wanted to do next. I believe this new chapter will be good for me. I'll be able to take more time for myself, and hopefully I'll be less stressed as I can set my own hours. Starting a business is my silver lining My focus is now on figuring out a business plan that will allow me to deliver the most value to partners and customers in the least amount of time. I plan to offer CTO services, project management, and maybe even some motivational speaking, while squeezing in travel and getting back into a regular exercise routine. Since the layoffs, I've been reminding myself that every cloud has a silver lining. In Danish, we say, "Nothing is so bad that it isn't good for something." In this case, the upside was the severance package. If I'd quit, I'd have received nothing. Because I was laid off after so many years of service, I was entitled to at least nine months of pay. I can use this package as a foundation to build toward my future plans. I still am going into the office for talks and office hours I still have an office access card and my company laptop, at the latest until December when I'm officially terminated. In the meantime, I'm still keen to be helpful. I went into the office today because we had a call with our AL-Go for GitHub product users. Over the years, I introduced this tool to many customers and partners at conferences and in blog posts. I feel a responsibility not only to maintain the product but also to reassure them that they are in safe hands. I'm also in touch with my former team. If they need my help, I'll answer questions, share guidance, or whatever else helps. There's no reason to stop doing that. Next month, I'll be hosting a session for current staff — a kind of motivational talk about my career at Microsoft and the good, bad, and not-so-fun decisions I made. One of those decisions was working my butt off for years. Nobody told me to spend 20 hours on weekends or to work as hard as I did, but I did it because it felt like the right thing to do. I did it because I genuinely felt a connection to our partners, our customers, and my colleagues. And, honestly, I still do.

Wall Street Is Steadily Investing In Energy As An Inflation Hedge

CULVER CITY, CA (Photo by) At the end of last week, fund managers had built up the largest net long position in crude oil futures in nine months, according to data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission. It is serving as a necessary inflation hedge given a growing conflict in the Middle East, and declining drilling at home. The biggest risk to equity returns remains inflation and funds need to protect themselves. Inflation also risks prolonging the current period of high rates, which is already taking its toll on several asset classes, including housing. Oil and energy equities broadly are increasingly appealing as a result of these dynamics. Funds flow into energy is expected to continue and the recent involvement of the U.S. in Iran will only accelerate this move. In the latest Bank of America fund manager survey, energy and materials still remained unloved, with managers net underweight. This is even after the recent increase, as allocations were near record lows just earlier this year. Yield and an inverse correlation to bonds has been another benefit of the trade. The yield on XLE, the energy sector ETF, is also almost three times that of the broader market, providing income that closer tracks inflation. It has also been performing as a hedge when bonds, the historical hedge in the 60/40 portfolio, have been failing. Periods of increased inflation expectations, as seen with the initial tariff announcements, now see both bonds and equities dropping in parallel. This is because inflation would force rates to remain high right as the U.S. refinances a sizable chunk of government debt this summer. The already large deficit means that higher rates become a self-fulfilling problem as more and more of future bond raises goes towards paying interest, which investors demand a higher rate for, creating a growing deficit spiral in an inflationary environment. The above strategy has played out in actual returns. US equities are up only slightly this year, a little over 1%, while emerging markets and commodities have outperformed, with gold up over 25%, oil up over 5%, silver up over 20%, emerging markets up over 10%, and bonds returning a little less than 1%. Several other dynamics make continued energy outperformance, and increased fund exposure likely, and these are outside of the increasing conflict in the middle east. The first is that escalating equipment costs, due to a combination of climbing labour costs and changing supply chains, benefits incumbent energy names. The second is that power demand shows no signs of slowing down with natural gas being the winner in AI data centers that require both scale and reliability. This is also during a period that the US wants to continue to grow natural gas exports, creating multiple demand levers at a time when storage availability remains flat. That creates an asymmetry where prices can spike to the upside. The third is that oil rigs have dropped by 9% in the U.S. as producers pulled back capital amidst economic uncertainty. This reduces the chance that supply will overwhelm demand and helps alleviate some of the downside risks to the trade. While energy investing always has a risk, an allocation as a hedge, especially given the broader macro tailwinds, is increasingly appealing for funds. This continues to show up in recent funds flow and is expected to only increase this coming week with both energy equities and oil prices likely to spike on the news of U.S. strikes.
