It’s not just recruiters. Is that the PR machine or something. Someone keeps saying oh it’s just the recruiters or just the interns or just the vendors or it’s just performance
Get your feelers out and you will know.
You have to use your feelers or informal networks. Those that are hit have to sign something that doesn’t allow them to say too much about it
Sep comes and still it’s underway
I just got RIF recently.
Any indicators of it coming?
No. Thought I had escaped for the year as it was already past July. Last year RBI was exceed and CBI was around average.
Was I lazing or unperforming?
No, in fact I was working my a-s off under the “One Microsoft” team spirit just to get things going and show beautiful results. And yes there are people skivving off but they don’t get RIF.
My work just reached a critical milestone and I guess someone else will be getting glory for the outcome post RIF.
Did I hate MS?
Do you want the truth?
Mik how do you know we should expect more? What are your sources? Do you know which groups?
Yes, expecting more.
Yep MLX org consisting of 300+ folks was fully eliminated.
Yes, around 300 recruiters were laid off. Which shouldn't have come as a surprise to anybody, considering the hiring slowdown/freeze.
If so, is it over or will there be more today?
