Which unit … how many impacted? Is this sad reality that we are not done with layoffs in Tech??
I had to nego so bad to get my TC the same as FAANG. It is possible to nego to get a better TC at Msft folks!
Congrats! Please be aware that by your 3rd year your TC will again start falling behind compared to competitors because of low quality stock refreshers and bonus here. And after 4 years cliff, you will be back to peanut plateau.
Share your negotiation tips please
Huge layoff at MSFT. Thousands
Which roles and which orgs?
Sales and customer support
There's a massive layoff and people are saying "please have more layoffs" with no sympathy for others. During one of the worst recessions. Sad world.
Literally these people at anytime can lose anything no matter how secure they feel
We are not in a recession according to the Biden administration.
Hope they layoff the toxic desi L1A managers
No no no no
Who do you think are throwing people under
You probably don't wanna use Microsoft as the example of whether or not we're done with layoffs. Microsoft has been layoff-happy since Satya took over in 2014. Even when the economy was booming
Article is crap...no real info.
It gives you what's publicly available, you can reasonably assume the rest.
Is this from the announced 10k?
Not included in the initial 10k. It's on top of. Source: https://www.geekwire.com/2023/new-round-of-microsoft-job-cuts-hits-customer-service-support-and-sales-teams/
Tech layoffs are a direct result of the unbridled greed of the tech workers. You do not need more than 300k to live more than decently anywhere in the US. All the mad rush after TC has created an unsustainable environment. Tech could use some good old fashioned socialism. Collectively it will be good for all of us.
Tell me why do regular doctors (not surgeons) need to be paid 500k and put millions of people out of healthcare. Just a visit for a cold for less than 30 mins is now $300.
XYZ you know what you give an even better example of an industry consumed by greed.
Please layoff the whole Bay Area ASAP!
More tech should layoff. Fk the TC they get paid
While we do get better TC than many, Microsoft is known for having the lowest of the tech companies.
Imagine thinking low levels workers need to be laid off because they make more than you, all while the CEOs doing the layoffs are raking in 100s of millions
