Microsoft Advertising let go of all vendors across the org. I know vendors who have families, work visas and trying to survive. This was not the time for them to do this but they did. It is not in the press but they let all their vendors go.
I heard from an hourly FTE was given attitude for claiming 40 hours. Messed up
Releasing vendors are not considered lay off. Vendor engaged resources are to serve temporary need.
However, MSFT 's Govt contract challenges may result in some significant issues.
They were not released after all.
I guess there was a lot more to layoffs then covid 19 so I apologize. They should really put out some sort of policy regarding virus and layoffs though.
Microsoft has already laid off two vendors on my spouses team saying because of covid 19. Hourly vendors taking heat for claiming 40 hours too. People still have bills. Still need to eat? Confused I thought Microsoft wasn’t going to fire people over this?
