No, but it does tell us that MSFT leadership are quite inept if they are firing a clearly qualified engineer capable of doing hard work under the guise of cost savings.
- foldr 1y agoIsn't general MSFT bashing a bit off topic in this thread? Also, it's discourteous to the individual in question to keep incorrectly stating that they were fired. The distinction between being fired and being laid off is an important one (especially if the person in question is applying for jobs).
- azemetre 1y agoFired and layoffs are a distinction that no worker cares about, I'm sure he'd rather be working than getting laid off for "performance reasons." If you were ever given the option to collect unemployment insurance, this includes taking a severance package where you stipulate to not pursue unemployment insurance, then you were fired. It's also important to always note that these companies do not care about their workers, they will extract you dry and throw you out.
- foldr 1y agoIt’s an important distinction because being fired suggests a fault on the part of the employee. Despite what you appear to suggest, there is no public information suggesting that this person was laid off for performance related reasons. Again, what you think about Microsoft, or big tech companies in general, is completely irrelevant here. You’re spreading false information about someone. It would cost you nothing simply to stop doing it.
