The linked article gives no more information than "Sky news reported this, citing sources."
Microsoft employs a wide variety of people, not just developers, and a lot of those jobs aren't making nearly as much as $250k/yr, nor are they so easily rehired into a job somewhere else.
- mgkimsal 4y agoI added an edit to round down. Again, I used $250k as a loaded cost - benefits, stock options, IRA matching, etc. Someone on $125k year might still 'cost' an extra $40k, and ... the $250k was possibly on the high side - round down to... $200k, and the argument is now... $2b/year instead of $3b. And yeah, many of these folks may have a harder time finding an equivalent paying engagement (perhaps you'll have to move? hard on people with families, etc).
