Microsoft layoffs shake up the unit responsible for integrating ChatGPT technology into Bing
that Microsoft asked some managers to identify underperformers the company can consider laying off quicker, instead of putting them on performance coaching plans.
Many employees learned of the cuts officially from CEO Satya Nadella's email on Wednesday morning, disclosing plans to cut 10,000 before the end of March. One affected employee said they then received a meeting invite from a VP informing them of the layoff plans, later followed up by a packet explaining severance.
Employees affected by the layoffs will remain employed at the company for 60 days, but won't report to work during this period. This is intended to allow employees on company-sponsored visas to find another job without having to leave the country. Then, employees will receive a minimum of one month of severance based on tenure, equal to one week of severance for every six months at the company.
. The company also notified the state of California about 46 layoffs, with job titles including individual contributors in applied sciences, community management, customer experience, product management, and engineers in electrical, hardware, manufacturing, mechanical, reliability, and software engineering.
