Performance or Popularity ?

I'm all for a mini and small mid size 30 K people company as like how we used to be before 10 years. The addition of 60 K people in this last one decade we've not achieved anything excellent product wise.

ideally everyone was exepecting the reason behind the layoffs to be, layoffs. That's not the case.
Case No. 1
employee is a senior manager in one of the smallest divisions of 3 businesses in hyderabad.
This manager X did not helped his manager Y to do all the honky ponky way of hiring and letting the Y manager's relatives to be hired. Mr.Y kept an eye over X continuosly and took his head when this god sent opportunity by our Big Ball(mer) boy came.

Case No.2
Second employee mid level manager. raises concerns, openly talks about poor practices, protests manager screw ups openly and brings it to timely notices of HR. Kick him off, threat message sent from higher ups utiling this opportunity.
MANAGER RELATION SCREW UPS are the only commanlity between all the laid off folks.

Now for time being, I'll stop with this 2 examples.
Atleast 15/60 of those guys( predominantly IT/SMSG/MGSI), I've worked with them directly or indirectly. So pathetic to see the non-performers(bottom 'underperformed') of the company are still get to stay and those 'Exceeded', 'Achieved' rated guys are kicked out.

I'm not going to stay with this company anymore, I'm more than willing to quit this 'filthy' practices, completely corrupt company any time if i can get another opportunity which doesn't need to pay me this much money, atleast work should be good and no politics. Anyone has such offers drop me a mail @ minimsftindia@gmail.com . will collate my resume and my likeminded friends resumes as well to the offered company.
i think 6-7 year with this company is more than enough to see through the whole cycle...
I'm also seriously searching monster, naukri.
Problem I face is, despite my 10+ year experience and 6-7 years in MS, outside market is not preferring MS folks as they're not finding us competent enough, "more talking, less work, just bluffers,highly priced". This is one of my recruiter friend's comment, so guys instead waiting for the day the next worst axe will come to your neck( July'23-Q4 and FY results), prepare yourself now. I know everyone of us got here by intelligence and 6-7 rounds of interviewing, so with little bit of planning and hard work we can land into an right opportunity without facing the social stigma.

Lets abandon this crappy place together and search for some nicer one...

  1. I think it's time to unsubscribe from your blog. Just by assuming the mini* name one doesn't become "mini".

    You really don't deserve to be in the company.

  2. Let me guess.. you work for MSIT (your previous post has enough hints). You also speak little English and your grammer is terrible.. how did you get through the 6 round of interviews at Microsoft?

  3. MS Mini India,

    Your posts are uninformed drivel.
    You are clearly biased and your post do nothing to help anyone.
    You should move on.
    Leave MS to the people who care about MS.

  4. I have been in the company for longer than you have and still love being here. I agree that there are a whole lot of things that need to be changed but none of those figure in your moronic rant. you have got to improve your English language skills. your blogs are embarassingly bad. Please leave MS asap - no one is going to miss you.

  7. do you just work for MS IT India or you are actually Ramkumar Pichai, you seem to only like him more than anyone.

    I won't be surprised if you are Ramkumar, spreading uselsss B.S and bashing your peers.

    I heard you, Ramkumar, joining SMSG soon. Have you had enough with MS IT India? based on this blog, I don't think you are welcome to our group, stay back with MS IT.

  19. Just noticed this blog while passing by. The first entry somehwat bothered me, but this one was just hillarious. This should honestly be taken up by someone as the "Mad TV" equivalent of the real Mini. Besides, we all get intentional humor, but humor that just flows so naturally out of someone? Priceless!

  21. >> outside market is not preferring MS folks as they're not finding us competent enough, "more talking, less work, just bluffers,highly priced".

    Very true ,We hired couple of Em from MSIT only to find out that they are just good at talking and havnt done any challenging work.Candidates from Services companies are more bright compared to them

  24. Before undergoing blepharoplasty, or any other surgical procedure for that matter, you may experience a certain level of nervousness. This is a perfectly normal way to feel leading up to a surgery. There are, however, ways to physically and emotionally prepare for eyelid surgery that will help make for as comfortable and successful a procedure as possible...
