Microsoft will now pay some employees to leave amid continued crackdown against ‘low performers’

Microsoft continued its crackdown against ‘low performers’ this week with financial incentives for voluntary resignations. The revelation came a day after the company outlined several policy changes including a two year re-hiring ban for such employees. The tech giant recently fired around 2000 ‘underperforming’ employees without severance pay and is reportedly gearing up for a fresh round of layoffs in May.
