1 Answers from Employees at Microsoft

General layoffs in engineering are very rare. There are occasionally teams that become obsolete for one reason or another but normally, those are handled through reassignment. In the rare case of a layoff, people are generally given time and resources to find another job either internally or externally. Most of the people that are layed off are hired into another internal group. In the rare case someone is actually layed off they are generally given severance.
