Global Hiring freeze in Microsoft

My recruiter just told me that there is global hiring freeze in MSFT effective today. All the open positions on the jobs site should vanish soon and the freeze is for indefinite period. Not sure what would happen to the offers already rolled out but surely sensing something big like mass layoffs is around the corner. #tech

I hope they communicate better than Amazon did

What a joke of a company. I thought their stock was “value” stock.

Hasn’t there always been a hiring freeze?

They will open roles internally for laid off people to apply

Let's hope so. That's what we should be doing. Principal level engineers laid off. Total nonsense.

Not buying it. That's what they claim they'll do, yet they cut off your access to internal resources after 72 hours

US has been under a hiring freeze for months. Not sure if it was also broadly global, but this is old news in the states
