Here is the article https://www.cmswire.com/customer-experience/microsoft-cuts-ai-ethics-and-society-team-as-part-of-layoffs/amp/ Seems pretty sketchy to me but I see a lot of different opinions on AI ethics as a job position. How is it not a good idea to have a team trying to keep AI ethical?? Fi...Read more

Sama fired by board Openai civil war Sama hired by MSFT Isn't all these scripted by Satya ? If Sam Altman resigns and join MSFT everyone will complain about ethics, philosophy etc . Now everyone will praise Satya for a masterstroke move .
#severance #layoff #microsoft Had a decent connect in Nov. My first-time-in-role manager comes back from parental leave mid Jan, asks me for my contributions in last 6 months AGAIN. Starts to document 1on1s with follow-up notes. And in less than 4 weeks, with exception of 1 genuine error, has tried...Read more

A whistleblower alleges that MS has been paying bribes in foreign countries to secure phony contracts. The yearly anti corruption compliance training doesn’t seem to be working. https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/25/22995144/microsoft-foreign-corrupt-practices-bribery-whistleblower-contracting TC 147...Read more
might get more than 1 offer after layoff.. so if 2 companies apply for my H1B transfer will that be an issue? (my current h1b is with microsoft) (plz don't go with ethics and all: sorry)
My MSFT offer says that my bonus range is 20% at max. Does it mean that if I do not make any serious makes and demonstrate an effective and impactful work ethics I should expect a bonus at 20% of my salary? Thanks !
Got laid off from Amazon in Jan. Took a short road trip to clear my head and strategize my game plan. No time to waste, rebuilt my resume top to bottom. Applied to 200+ roles out of which about 40 call backs. Currently 8 open interviews, and one of them finally put an offer with 2 level up title t...Read more
As interest rates rise, we are witnessing companies change course on many fronts. Turns out some of the virtuous behaviors during the pandemic were just secondary effects of Zero interest rate policy (cheap money). For example: -FAANG companies laid off all the extra employees they hired -MSFT fire...Read more

Reputation of a company on Blind is a good heuristic to find a place to work for. Microsoft, Apple and Google, highly reputable companies to work for in terms of culture compared to Meta and Amazon, are the ones that haven’t laid employees and sticking to the ethics and virtue. Necessary layoffs may...Read more
I will keep it plain and simple, there had been a massive earthquake (7.0 in magnitude) recently in Aegean Sea and resulted with buildings collapsed in Izmir, a densely populated city in Turkey. Some innocent lives are lost and somehow a sick fuck named Maxime Rastello (https://www.linkedin.com/in/m...Read more
Everyone compares Microsoft refreshers to other FAANG refreshers. That's unfair. I may be on the upper end of the spectrum at msft, but I am not a rock star. I consistently get 140% rewards, where 100% is target and 200% is max. If you work hard, 140 is guaranteed at MSFT, albeit a bad manager. Her...Read more
Hi Blind, I am on paternity leave right now and got an offer from another company. This new offer is tempting and will be a good move in my career. I am inclined to join this new company but I feel bad to leave my current team this way. Is it that bad or I am just overthinking it? Also, any sugges...Read more
It feels like Ethics aren’t discussed enough on here in regards to the tech industry. Disclaimer: Yes I work at Microsoft, and I am probably part of the issue as well. TC: 265K YOE: 4 L61 It’s pretty clear that a lot of tech companies are contributing to societal inequality. Amazon warehouse worke...Read more
Hi everyone -- I could use some advice. I just completed my Masters in AI, and I’ve been offered a fully-funded research assistantship on my professor’s PhD team -- the focus would be topics in Trustworthy AI. This opportunity would cover my tuition, but the stipend is minimal, so I won't earn a si...Read more
Our work requires us to use our personal phones as a 2FA device and I'm very concerned that they are monitoring and spying me. Of course they say they are not, and even though MSFT has the best ethics out of all the tech companies, I don't feel comfortable. I'm heading down to this decision I was t...Read more
