Leaked Microsoft memo tells managers not to use budget cuts as an explainer for lack of pay rises: ‘Reinforce that every year offers unique opportunity for impact’::Managers are being ordered to dodge employees’ questions about how the latest budget cuts will impact their pay.
In other words “Leaked memo tells managers to lie”.
How did big tech companies got like these? Bigger cut for owners? I remember when a person got a job in Microsoft, Google, etc, it meant that they were financial stable in a good job that didn’t drain all of their energy. We need tech more than ever now. Is it because there are so many devs these days? AI? All these things all together?
This is capitalism working as intended.
Fuck Microsoft and Fuck Satya Nadella
‘unique opportunity for impact’
Impact can’t pay my fucking debt
Cunts. Same shit different day.
Rich get richer.
Men, many of you won’t survive, but think of the glory! Hail Microsoft!!!
“Sorry, you’re not getting a cost of living increase this year, but what you need to focus on is how impactful your work has been.”
The reward is in thinking of all the money you’re making us!
Please enjoy these photos of me and my family on the yacht you helped me afford. I hope the smiles on their faces bring you some warmth and joy inside your dank, overpriced basement apartment.
Keep up the good work!
Eat the fucking rich
I wish I could have lived long enough to see Micro$oft go bankrupt and dissolve. They have brought nothing but toxicity to the tech community, and I’ve been in this game for almost 4 decades.
I kinda hate how it seems like programming will be at best a 30 per hour job in the future, likely leading to me needing two jobs. Its like I just graduated and I’m kinda frustrated with the state of this industry
Not to mention back to the office bullshit will sooner or later force me to move somewhere with a 10X cost of living.
Not to be too harsh, but welcome to the life of pretty much every other 4 year degree professional.
Cost of college keeps going up, while salary and career prospects continue to decline.
Yeah the working conditions are generally declining, it just sucks somehow the right is gonna say “WELL YOU SHOULD OF STUDIED A HIGH PAYING CAREER”
And they say degrowth can’t happen. It’s already happening if you’re working class.
