Microsoft reviews

Get rid of your re-branded rankings. The zero rewards is a scarlet letter and unfair. It's a way to give people your manager likes (even if they under-perform) a ton of money and leave you with nothing to force you to quit. There's no way out of it. None. Many of the managers are immoral and protected and they have ALL power in their hands with no accountability for their actions (I've even heard managers joke about it over dinner). If they don't like you, they will take all your credit, give you all their blame, and bully you until you quit. I've personally stopped 2 suicide attempts from manager bullying since I've been here. This is not a game, this is people's livelihood. I've also seen people given offers to fake positions just to let go of them one month later into the new role. Look it up! There is so much corruption and bias.

Even that they say "our employees are the most valuable assets" - that's just a lie. Someone would not treat their employees in such a way - especially employees who have served for a long time and have significantly contributed to the success of that company. Do not expect ANY loyalty from that company or from management. They practice "hire & fire" at its best. You loose your job without ANY wrong doing and there is enough work to be done in other groups or divisions. Instead of offering a comparable position in a different group - they rather fire you. Sure this is good for stockholders, but it also creates an atmosphere of uncertainty among all other employees. Microsoft middle management sucks - sorry for being so blunt here.
