If your paycheck is bigger than most, brace yourself. Management doesn’t care about loyalty. They’ll cut the highest-paid first without blinking. It’s frustrating, unfair, and exhausting. Keep your resume ready and don’t kid yourself thinking it won’t happen to you.

September Layoff Confirmed - Performance Based
Rewards are over and Microsoft will now (again) move into performance based layoffs where they will be cutting under performers flagged from this and past reviews. M5 level meetings are happening and have been scheduled. If you scored a 80 or below you are at risk this round. And keep in sight that managers were trained that 80 is considered performing as you are asked, nothing more. It’s clear they are on a mission to retain high performers only , the piece they are missing is that most high performers are not high performers…just good at the social game.
