The "PiPs" will just be a formality as this is really just a a way for Execs to force people out without paying them severance. Just to hire others right behind them. It doesn't make any fiscal sense to operate this way, but execs are on a power trip since people apparently aren't quitting in high enough numbers.

And I say "PiPs" above because Microsoft doesn't do them. They just fire you after one bad review with no notice.

PIPs just mean no severance payments or layoffs they need not count as "layoffs" per se http://techrights.org/n/2024/12/07/PIP_Performance_Improvement_Plan_as_an_Instrumental_But_Largely.shtml
