Microsoft has implemented a new policy of putting ousted employees on a two-year rehire ban for performance issues, considering it 'good attrition.'
The company is adopting controversial management approaches like 'good attrition' to shed low-performing employees faster and prevent their rehiring.
The tech industry, including Microsoft, is moving towards stricter performance management and reducing perks for employees in order to maintain high performance standards.
The new policy includes firing underperformers without severance, introducing performance improvement plans, and offering a 'Global Voluntary Separation Agreement' with a payout.
