Cool products to work on and good experience. Remote work is easy if that is something you want.
Work just as hard as other tech companies for less money. You have to make senior or else you will eventually be let go.

Looks like most affected are consultants and project managers. 3. It is unknown when the layoffs are planned to st...Read more
Just had a call 300 people org laid off. 150 in Engineering also part of layoff. Not sure if any other org got laid off.
Anyone have insights on how the Microsoft layoff decisions today are being made? I know of some and it seems like it is more driven by group manager discretion than performance, tenure, or recent hire. #layoff
I heard some people got laid off this morning. How many people were impacted in this round? #tech #Microsoft #layoff
My sister works in Microsoft Devices and her org/team was badly impacted on Mar 6. Do you think Devices will be hit again on Mar 22? #layoff #microsoft
Why has the odds of a microsoft layoff spiked? Google literally just had a layoff yesterday, so that one is explained. Space Karen’s pay package got denied, and he dropped a very explicit hint that it means there’ll be layoffs. Why have the odds of a microsoft layoff just spiked within the past 12...Read more

I heard some kid at Disneyland blabbing about how her dad was going to have to fire a bunch of people at Microsoft today. Anything coming?

Microsoft Layoff 2023? Saw a few posts about layoff coming on 17th of Jan. But never heard anyone talk about it in my team. How much do you think it could be accurate?

It seems official now. 10K layoffs at Microsoft announced today. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/microsoft-cuts-10000-jobs-about-5-of-global-workforce/ The argument was always, “It’s 🥜 pay in exchange for job security.” Doesn’t seem like that reason to stay holds water anymore.

Microsoft started another round of layoffs in multiple lines of business and countries.
Instead of Satya Nadella cutting his paycheck like Tim Cooks did. He cut 5% of his workforce. Those who work at Microsoft, how did the news come? #tech #microsoft
Which unit … how many impacted? Is this sad reality that we are not done with layoffs in Tech??
