Microsoft layoff?

Annual layoff or Amazon's URA style? Can any #microsoft employee share some info? Thanks. TC: 140.

Very standard. Every company does layoffs here and there all the time; just this time given market sentiment, it’s newsworthy.

Annual cuts. Search for 2020 layoff. Even azure got cut in that. Azure core networking and azure data.

2023 is the real time to worry, not now.

Slightly off topic, she’s one of the most cringiest PoS MSFT recruiter ever. Blocked her as soon I saw a post where she said something like engineers make x amount of money and people get priced out of their homes or something. Works for an engineering company and says shit like that. The irony 🤮

She’s justifying Why MSFT pays 🥜

Yup and also MSFT recruiters are part of the reason why Msft has a poor reputation

Microsoft has reorgs at the start of every fiscal year with a small percentage of employees being shown the door. It announced some layoffs in 2017, but its last large-scale layoff was in 2014. If your are doing a good job (and your manager & skip like you) it is unlikely you will be laid off at Microsoft.

Depends on the hr algorithm. Good strong engineers get thrown into the mix as well

Things will be rosy late 2025.

Yep, after the Great Reset.

"Less than 1%". If you are included in that 1 percent which FYI is still around 1000 people, things would be different... And the rumors of amazon style pip is on the rise in the last week
