Microsoft is laying off 1,900 of its staff across the video game teams, including Activision Blizzard, ZeniMax and Xbox…

Name a single merger in any industry that didn’t result in layoffs of at least 8% of the workforce.

It’s literally the point, merging companies are a left join, not a full outer join. The entire point is to save money by removing overlap - anyone who doesn’t expect that has no idea how businesses operate.
