Layoffs in Bing
Anyone heard of the recent layoffs in Bing? Looks like Azure and 365 are not affected. Only Bing. All engineer positions. Does anyone know how many got layoff? #tech #microsoft #layoff
Tough to find out. I did a Google search on Bing and all they returned were laughing gifs.
How big was it?
Bing is under webxt, right? Horrible yandex man. Buries people in work, blames them, gives microsoft peanuts and then does layoff. To answer your question webxt was impacted and webxt has openings in China and Spain too. Wonder if it's related
I was laid off from Bing last week. There were 11 people + Andrey Proskurin + 2 people from HR in the meeting. Majority of those affected were SDEs.
How many people under Andrey overall? No manager or skip on meeting?
Not only Andrey's org...it's also happening in Jordi's org. Seems also more than 10 sde
Not use Bing for a long time.
When did this happen? After the 1k layoff?
2 weeks ago
I think then it's the same 1k layoff you are referring
