The logic of spreading out layoffs over the corse of an entire year escapes me. Particularly when it's the first year of a new CEO. What are they thinking?

- ArkyBeagle 12y agoI have to wonder if they're not trying to speed up the rate of voluntary exits.
- jedanbik 12y agoDefinitely. If you quit, you don't get unemployment insurance benefits. Microsoft is trading morale for money.
- ThomPete 12y agoOr they give people a chance to find something else.
- judk 12y agoThat doesn't make sense. People would either get new jobs or coast till layoff. No one preemptively quits to do nothing because they fear a layoff.
- jedanbik 12y agoIt would make sense to do it this way if these voluntary exits are a thing. Are they? Are they not? I'd love to learn more about this type of situation.
- ArkyBeagle 12y agoI would not think people would simply quit. They'd basically start to look for a job to beat the effect of all those other people being in the water. Of course this is no great secret so it might already be as if those people were in the water.
