Microsoft HR now ‘bans’ employees who are …

Microsoft is implementing a controversial two-year rehire ban for employees terminated due to performance issues, signaling a major shift in the company’s management approach. According to internal documents obtained by Business Insider, the tech giant is also tracking “good attrition” – a metric that counts certain employee departures as positive outcomes for the company.

This policy overhaul comes as Microsoft recently fired approximately 2,000 employees deemed underperformers without severance, part of a broader effort to shed low performers faster and prevent their return to the company.
