I’m hearing they’ve laid off low performers…
- max_ 4y agoWhat's the definition of low performer?
- baq 4y agoThe chief people officer and a couple interns who prepared the list know… so it’ll be something like ‘didn’t get a bonus for X years’
- socialismisok 4y ago"someone you don't want around anymore"
- aldebran 4y agoPeople with “Insufficient results” also known in other places as PIP
- bergenty 4y agoPeople that don’t work
- ionwake 4y agoReminds me of a glorious post on HN where someone happily blogged about how he wrote some code to tell him who to fire, the answer was him, which meant the code wasn’t quite right. So he picked some people instead. I live for those posts.

- DocTomoe 4y agoThe names we have been able to know by now would indicate that theory to be wrong - or Microsoft has a warped idea of what constitutes as a low-performer.
- eeep 4y agoOf the names I know, some were involved in a number of failed projects, e.g. a foldable Windows phone. Perhaps unlucky for them, perhaps low performance.
