Microsoft to hire 4,000 in UK

What crap

What a bunch of bollocks.

Microsoft UK displays some of the worst HR behaviours & policies in the UK.

In addition to the 80-odd staff Microsoft UK laid off in 2009, Microsoft is still "constructively" dismissing additional staff.

Ask any current Microsoft UK employee whether they received a merit increase for FY 2010 or

whether staff who performed their duties adequately were re-categorised as "underperformed" during their performance review and are being managed out of the company.

None of this makes the news as those unfortunate employees who have been laid off are forced to sign legal agreements preventing them from exercising their legal rights or from speaking to the press.

If Microsoft UK were to create 4000 positions, that would more than double the current number of employees !

What absolute bollocks !
