Microsoft has begun implementing performance-based job cuts, according to termination letters reviewed by Business Insider. Employees affected will see their benefits cease immediately, with some not receiving severance pay. The letters highlight that the terminations are based on failing to meet minimum performance standards. Microsoft aims to strengthen performance management within the company, especially for higher-level employees, while also indicating that those terminated for performance issues could face consequences if they seek future employment with the company. However, the overall headcount may remain stable as these positions are often backfilled.
