Many specialists may leave Microsoft — they are dissatisfied with their salaries

Microsoft said it plans to raise the salaries of its specialists. Thus, the company wanted to prevent their transition to competitors. However, when it became known what the new compensation might be, employees were dissatisfied, writes Business Insider.

The company's decision is dictated by the fact that many specialists are disappointed with wages, especially against the background of the fact that competitors like Amazon have already promised significant increases in compensation to their employees this year.

On August 15, Microsoft began notifying people about salary increases. It is likely to be 5-10%. Already in September, specialists should receive updated salaries and bonuses. However, a number of experts say that they will leave the company if there are no changes in the planned amounts of increases.

The problem, in particular, is the rate of inflation, because new fees simply do not keep up with them. The specialist who noted this noted that he is looking for another job and that many specialists are moving to Meta. Employees say that they are comfortable working in the company, but this is not enough to stay. For example, one of them said that he was "thrown" 10%, while another company offered a salary 50% higher than what he receives now.

All this is reinforced by an unspoken rule in force at Microsoft: if you want to get as much as you deserve, you need to quit and return, said one of the company's specialists. He says that he will wait for an updated compensation, and then agree to a more attractive offer elsewhere.

Microsoft's annual internal survey showed that 66% of professionals are satisfied with their salaries, compared to 73% last year.

Microsoft is now gradually reducing the cost of training, corporate events, as well as laying off hundreds of existing specialists and slowing down the hiring of new ones. On the eve of the Corporation reported the slowest sales growth in the last two years: revenue in the last quarter increased by 12% to.51.9 billion. The company has been hit by a downturn in its cloud business, declining video game sales, and the impact of the dollar.
