Microsoft’s mass layoffs have affected its video game division across both Xbox and Bethesda, it’s been confirmed.
On Wednesday Microsoft claimed the cuts were being made “in response to macroeconomic conditions and changing customer priorities”.report published on Wednesday, the company was deliberately targeting who it believed to be “underperforming employees” in at least some parts of the company.
The publication claims that some managers were asked to identify employees for exits who would otherwise be put on performance coaching. Previously, managers started a consultation on an employee’s performance for as long as six months, it said. Now, if HR agrees the employee has concerning performance, they’ll consider laying off the employee without performance coaching, it’s claimed.
