Microsoft workers willing to leave for rival firm: survey

Microsoft employees are reportedly eyeing the exits in the wake of mass layoffs and other unpopular moves at the tech giant.

Just 47% of Microsoft employees said they would remain at the company if they received a comparable job offer from another firm, according to the results of a leaked May internal survey called “Daily Signals.”

The dismal figure marked a major decline compared to November, when 70% of Microsoft employees said they would stay at the company in the same scenario, according to Insider, which obtained a screenshot of the latest results.

A Microsoft spokesperson reportedly “disputed” the figures cited by Insider, but acknowledged that the number of employees who said they would stay if they received a job offer had declined from November to May.

The spokesperson added that roughly 400 employees out of the company’s global workforce of more than 200,000 workers typically respond to the survey.

The Post has reached out to Microsoft for further comment.

The apparent morale crisis at Microsoft has unfolded after the company announced approximately 10,000 layoffs in January as executives look to shave costs given a volatile outlook for the tech sector.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella described the cuts as “difficult, but necessary.”

Microsoft also rankled its remaining workforce in May after announcing that full-time employees would not receive salary bumps this year.

The company also reduced its bonus and stock award budget, according to Insider.

Since last year, Microsoft has also nudged its remote workers to return to the office, reportedly setting an internal standard that employees should be in a physical office at least 50% of the time.

Google faced internal criticism from some employees earlier this month after it unveiled plans to crack down on office attendance requirements.

The company has begun tracking employee badge swipes, with poor attendance potentially impacting individual performance reviews.

Elsewhere, furious Amazon workers recently staged a walkout in protest of the company’s return-to-office push and its climate policies.
