Agreed. This may sound harsh, but if you’re a software engineer at Microsoft with five years of experience (starting your career at Microsoft) making $300k+ a year and aren’t sitting on a massive pile of cash/investments, a layoff is the least of your worries. Hopefully most of the staff getting laid off have at least three months in cash not including severance.
- yakubin 4y agoDoes Microsoft pay this much?
- jameshush 4y agoFresh out of university new grads were getting $100k/year base salaries there when I graduated about 11 years ago. Plus stock and bonuses. So for 3-5 years xp “normal” engineer it was very, very doable to have $300k total comp (stocks, bonus and base) at Microsoft. I’m quoting Microsoft Silicon Valley numbers because that was the one I was interning at the time.
- jdmoreira 4y agoNo wonder they have to layoff if they do. Insanity that compensations reached this level. The definition of a bubble really.
- throwaway5959 4y agoYou should look into how much money they make per employee.
