What are they giving instead that’s buying employees the silence? Is it good severance?

This is illegal. Will not stand in court. Employer cannot force the employee to sign a one-sided agreement especially in an adverse circumstance.

Not worth the NDA until and unless it’s a lot of money for those 3 months.

Are they trying to protect reputation or what 🤔

Microsoft is firing people with NDA signing that they can't disclose on LinkedIn or any where that they are fired

Growth Manager

I decided to join a company and signed their nda. Then 2 days later they showed me offer letter.

I didnt agree with offer letter and decided not to join and not to sign the offer letter.

So I wanted to know that in this case, does the NDA have any stand?

NDAs valid without offer letter?

Folks might be knowing this guy as one of the cringe tech influencer from YT selling DSA courses. 
Folks from MS can confirm this, got this from a blind post through a mutual friend.

Nishant Cha*** fired from Microsoft ?

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

From the last few days there were talks going on about layoffs in Morgan Stanley. Some 7% of the global staff will be handed over the pink slip in this week. 
Well... It started happening from today ... Few colleagues from my department were laid, and the reason being "company is trying to survive in the market, company is planning the road ahead by taking such bold steps".
When this was announced, my anxiety shot up the next level and I couldn't wait for the meeting to finish.
The past few years have not been great for the business worldwide due to which many companies are forced to take such steps. These companies just have been doing a hiring spree from the last 1-2 years that now they are regretting their decisions and letting off their employees.
My question is - "If a company hires excessively during the bull market and is forced to lay off few of the employees during the downturn, has the company made an error by not evaluating the headcount or it was just simply the need of the hour" 
 
Please note - I know many people out there who have faced job cuts due to many factors, sincerely requesting people to take this matter very seriously

Layoffs - A complete mess made by the companies

TLDR 
1. Satya did tv interviews and was fine if Altman goes back to OpenAI

2. Salesforce’s Marc Benioff wrote a tweet saying he’ll match compensation of any OpenAI team member who wants to join Salesforce 

3. Of some 750+ employees, 700 will move to Microsoft (with Sam) in case Sam doesn’t return. That’s insane. 

4. Vinod Khosla an early investor in OpenAi tweeted that all the openai employees should quit in case their board members don’t resign 

5. Interim ceo of openai  Emmett Shear (formerly of Twitch)  called for emergency all hands on Sunday and apparently no one turned up

Altman saga continues

LinkedIn started layoff after Microsoft cut jobs in xbox, surface and hololens projects.

LinkedIn Layoff

Project Coordinator

My offer (from a FAANG company) has been deferred to January 2024. I don't know what to do now: 
 
1) I have another job offer (~8 LPA), but that job requires me to serve notice period of 2-3 months 
 
2) A startup's founder rejected me, saying he wanted someone for long term (he thought I'll leave next January)  
 
Should I try for full time jobs? Many companies become unwilling to take me in, presuming that I will leave in January 2024. 
 
Or should I look for internships (even though I have graduated)? Getting an internship won't help mitigate the risk of not having a fulltime job offer after graduation though.

Offer deferred, don't know what to do

What happened to this smiling boy. He was working in Microsoft now he says he resigned.

Does Microsoft throw this guy?

Hello Grapeviners

So I guess I hit the mid-life career crisis and finally resigned from Microsoft abruptly yesterday. 

Reasons for resignation:
1. I am saturated with my work and feel out of fuel now.
2. No Pay Raise or Stocks since 2 years.
3. No Promo in last 2 years even after being a top performer and winning multiple awards and accolades.
4. Was promised by my manager that I will be promoted in Feb but now he/she quotes budget.

What my manager says:
1. You have a valid L1B, don't resign.
2. Says you will get the promo in September but now it is not possible.

Please Note: I resigned abruptly without any offers in hand. I guess managers think that folks who have L1B won't resign so their promo can be delayed.

Just wanted to share with the the community. Thanks 🙏

Resigned from Microsoft

Half of me wanna yell at you for being stupid, but other half tells me you know better about appreciation and promo thing within org. If you don’t regret it, it’s good then!

Is MS India is also firing teams in India ?

Layoffs in Microsoft India

Microsoft has lost all respect from me today. Guys please spread the word so that all come to know reality.

I am writing this post on behalf of my friend who is still in bad mood having mental trauma.

Yesterday my friend from Microsoft was let go from his job in India. He was being pressurised to write relieving letter saying he was quitting at his own will and that the HR apparently said if he didn't write the email in next half or 1 hour he won't be getting any severance or benefits by Microsoft India. 

Wait..who does this to an employee? He was so tensed yesterday that he is leaving for his hometown in few days, he doest want to do any job for some time, he was literally crying. 

He said the ones who didnt got laid off have lost the will to work. His friends who got fired are crying as it was least expected from Microsoft.

imo even amazon and sf handled the indian layoffs in a better way than Microsoft.

Other then that Microsoft peeps are not allowed to write anything rubbish on social media. You can yourself see 3 rounds of layoff have happened in India and you will rarelly see any post yet on LinkedIn.

Just imagine to what extent these firms are going to save their image. 😵‍💫🥺

msft used to have best people culture but now its something unimaginable😣

Our company offer letter mentions our salary shouldn't be discussed or disclosed to our colleagues. It is confidential.

If we cannot share with the person sitting right next, why are we sharing with every other company we interview.

What's the way out? Can we say we signed an NDA?
