Some Microsoft employees fume over the company's open offer to hire hundreds of OpenAI staff::Current employees point to layoffs and a salary freeze this year at Microsoft and wonder why it's promising to match the pay of OpenAI staff.

So they need to leave M$ and join OpenAI first. Then they can return with their nice new salary from OpenAI.

No sarcasm necessary. This is literally how tech industry employment works.

Satire, not sarcasm.

In reality most of them do not work in an AI related area and therefore they do not have a chance to pull such a stunt. That's why they are complaining now.
