my comment from tc:

This makes absolutely no sense. He was literally the face of microsoft to the startup community. He's done a hell of a great job at it. Layoffs are sad, but they're usually reserved for people you can let go of. Don Dodge was NOT one of those people. He was actually the opposite: someone that microsoft needed to make sure they never let go. I'm pretty shocked.

"Don Dodge laid off from Microsoft" is more accurate. Arrington's thoughts: http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/11/04/microsoft-loses-don-dod...

> He wasted all that time, apparently.

Not the most tactful thing to say about a friend who has just been laid off.

The TechCrunch post will help him in his job search. In fact, companies will come to him.

I think the point was directed at Microsoft.

I'm pretty sure Don Dodge will do just fine looking for a new job, regardless of what TechCrunch posts.
