Microsoft to lay off ‘underperforming’ employees

The job cuts will happen across all parts of Microsoft, including in its important Security division.

Microsoft is planning to lay off underperforming employees, marking yet another round of firings, according to a Business Insider report.

These job cuts are happening across all parts of the company, including in its important Security division, the report read.

This is because Microsoft is taking a stronger stance on performance management in a way similar to its competitors, with managers having spent the last few months evaluating employees all the way up to level 80, which is one of its highest levels.
