CTOnews.com, January 21 (Xinhua)-- just hours before the announcement of 10000 layoffs, Microsoft held a 50-person concert in Davos, inviting famous British singer Sting to perform, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Microsoft employees who were laid off complained about the event, arguing that Microsoft fired a large number of employees while spending money improperly. CTOnews.com learned that hosting such a private professional concert could cost as much as $1 million, so Microsoft employees were very angry.

It is reported that the event, which invited a number of Microsoft executives, as well as key personnel of some organizations, is an offline event for the World Economic Forum in Davos. The standard of this event is very high, and it costs a lot of money to invite the famous British singer Sting to perform.

A number of senior Microsoft executives attended this year's World Economic Forum. Nadella spoke about the future of artificial intelligence in an interview at a panel in the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday. On Wednesday, he took the stage again to discuss the current challenges facing the technology industry and the need to improve productivity.

Employees agree that these activities have been arranged before, but Microsoft has laid off a lot of staff and spent the money on these inappropriate places, so it is obviously inappropriate to invite Sting to perform.
