Conversations with some people really be like 😵💫

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
You all think this will hold >300b?

I often fall ill over the weekend, which sometimes extends into Monday, rarely Tuesday. I don't drink, and I'm not an idiot.
Interviewing, baby!!!
I like to call it the squirts.
I guess you win at life then.
Could be interviewing but everyone gets the shits from time to time. No real way to know if it's flu or something you ate so I can see this happening a couple weeks apart.
But the shits is the best sick day excuse that's for sure.
Sounds like they should be interviewing at the very least. -- at least now
Partied too hard? Extended vacation?
Eh, usually a super diligent/conservative employee.
It might be some other embarrassing issue like IBS.. no one wants to talk about their poop issues to anyone at work. Stomach flu is a pretty good blanket stately that no one wants to be any part of.
