How often do people get fired for bad performance in Microsoft?
Yes. Once every year someone from our team is ...
How is this true, yet people from MS on here always say no one does shit at MS and everyone works from home, etc. ?
Because we're paid less. But if you slack too much (Oracle levels) you might be let go maybe ?
You will be surprised but my feeling is that Oracle started firing slackers. There were 2 layoffs this year in my organization and those with a bad performance were let go. And my guess is there will be one more layoff by the end of a year.
It's called insufficient results on your review.
No, there is no PIP. It used to be stack rank which would force someone into lower bucket, but nothing official anymore. I saw an entire team once got $0 bonus and they were all fine 1 year after.
Almost every large company has a PIP process. It's not something they discuss publicly.
They do have one, but not as brutal. People don't get fired often
God yes. And it is the kiss of death.
I moved from MS to Amazon. A guy on my team had literally checked in the same amount of code in 15 months that I have done in a month at Amazon (lvl 59 mind you - so no design tasks etc.) and was still in the team (although on a notice from manager to look outside)! Getting PIP'ed at MS is a job in itself - its impossible. There's a very very low bar in order to get PIP'ed.
This depends so much on the manager. I have seen things pretty fast as well.
Yes!

Yes, and quite often
how often is it? The stats don’t seem to work be publicly available to employees.
