WHOA.
Yes- Microsoft laid off 6,000 people BUT... they dropped a pretty brutal new policy overhaul:
-2-year rehire ban for anyone pushed out over performance
-A new “good attrition” metric (yes, they track if they’re happy you’re gone)
PLUS... you have 5 days to choose:
– 16 weeks severance
– or a performance plan with no severance if you fail
Honestly this mirrors Amazon’s “unregretted attrition” model... and is kicking off a new era of ruthless performance management in Big Tech.
