Microsoft is adopting stricter performance management policies, introducing a two-year rehire ban for employees terminated due to performance. This reflects a willingness to categorically classify some staff departures as 'good attrition,' a concept similar to Amazon's infamous 'unregretted attrition.' This move aims to expedite the process of getting rid of low performers while reducing overall employee perks and benefitting from a leaner workforce. The changes are part of a broader trend within the tech industry towards enhanced focus on employee performance and accountability.
Microsoft is embracing two controversial management approaches that suggests the software giant is getting tougher on employees.
When the company ousts employees due to performance issues, it will now put them on a two-year block list that bars them from being rehired.
In addition, Microsoft will count these job cuts as 'good attrition,' meaning the company is shedding staff that it's happy to see leave.
Overall, the industry is moving toward stricter performance management and reduced perks.
