The leaders of certain Microsoft teams specifically discuss cuts Intermediate managers and how to increase the report of coders Compared to non-project on projects, sources told Business Insider.
Some Microsoft organizations want to increase their “control of control“Or the number of employees that fall to each manager, said these people.
The sources, which occupy management positions in the company, have asked not to be identified to discuss sensitive subjects which are still in the planning phase. We do not know how many jobs will be cut, but one of the people said it could be an important part of their team. A Microsoft spokesperson refused to comment.
In the technology industry, there is already a comfort of intermediate managers in progress. Amazon tried to increase the report of individual contributors to managers. And in December, CEO Sundar Pichai The staff said that Google had reduced the roles of vice-president and manager of 10% in the context of an efficiency campaign.

Charlie BellMicrosoft’s security pattern brought this Amazon concept, where he was a pioneer of the cloud. There, this is called the “Ratio Builder” and follows the “non-constructive” software engineers ratio, such as program managers and project managers.
Microsoft plans to increase these objectives in certain organizations. For example, Bell’s security organization currently has around 5½ engineers to a PM, and its objective is to reach a ratio of 10 to 1, according to a person familiar with Bell’s plans.
One of the people familiar with the case said this ratio is essentially an indirect indicator of the number of people. The company discusses the reductions that would oblige managers to respect a certain budget and a specific team ratio, said the person.
