Man Fired After Working For 21 Years At Microsoft Shares Heartfelt Note

Man Fired After Working For Over 21 Years At Microsoft Shares Heartfelt Note On LinkedIn

Microsoft fired an Indian employee after 21 years of service.

Amid the news that Microsoft Corp. is cutting 10,000 jobs by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2023, a LinkedIn post by a former employee of the tech giant is going viral on social media platforms. In his post, the Indian man wrote about his experiences at the technology behemoth and how it feels to leave the organisation after working there for 21 years in two stints.

"Microsoft was my first job after college, and I still remember coming over to a foreign land all nervous and excited, wondering what life has in store for me. After working for over 21 years at Microsoft, multiple roles, multiple organizations, as an IC and as a manager, on client, hybrid, and service software, V1 products and V10+, UX, backend, and everything in between, I can truly say it's been very fulfilling and rewarding. I've learned immensely and grown as a result," the former employee wrote on LinkedIn.

Mentioning how good the learning process has been at Microsoft, he said, "Microsoft gave me many opportunities to learn and expand my skills, and I was able to take full advantage of them." The wealth of experience I gained throughout my career can't simply be measured in years; it is truly immeasurable. And for all of that, I'm truly grateful to Microsoft."

He worked for Microsoft in Redmond, Washington, as the principal software development manager. In 1999, he began working as a software design engineer at Microsoft, a position he held for just over 15 years. After that, he worked for Amazon for more than two years before going back to Microsoft.

Meanwhile, the Satya Nadella-led firm is also grappling with a slump in the personal computer market after a pandemic boom fizzled out, leaving little demand for its Windows and accompanying software.

Microsoft is under pressure to maintain growth rates at its cloud unit Azure after several quarters of a downturn in the personal computer market hurt Windows and device sales.

The company had 221,000 full-time employees, including 122,000 in the United States and 99,000 internationally, as of June 30, according to filings.

US Defense Chief Austin To Make 'Full Recovery' From Cancer: Doctors

Austin, a 70-year-old career soldier, initially underwent minor surgery to treat cancer on December 22. Washington: US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is likely to make a "full recovery" from prostate cancer and his prognosis is "excellent," two doctors said after he was seen at Walter Reed hospital for a follow-up appointment. Austin controversially kept US President Joe Biden in the dark about the cancer diagnosis for weeks, and did not inform either the commander-in-chief or Congress until days after he was hospitalized on January 1 for complications from his treatment. "Secretary Austin was seen today at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for a scheduled post-prostatectomy surveillance appointment," the doctors said in a statement released by the Pentagon. "He continues to recover well and is expected to make a full recovery. Secretary Austin's prostate cancer was treated early and effectively, and his prognosis is excellent,...

North Korea test-fired a new generation of strategic cruise missile on Wednesday. (Representational) Seoul: North Korea fired several cruise missiles towards the Yellow Sea on Wednesday, Seoul's military said, the latest in a series of tension-raising moves by the nuclear-armed state. Hours later, North Korea appeared to confirm the firing, saying it had carried out its first test of a new generation of strategic cruise missiles it is developing, the Pulhwasal-3-31.

"Our military detected several cruise missiles launched by North Korea towards the Yellow Sea at around 7:00 am today," the South Korean Joint Chiefs of Staff said in a statement. Unlike their ballistic counterparts, the testing of cruise missiles is not banned under current UN sanctions against Pyongyang. Cruise...
