- Microsoft is considering job cuts as soon as May to improve metrics like 'span of control' and 'PM ratio.'
- Cuts may target middle managers and aim to increase the ratio of coders to non-coders.
- Microsoft's security boss, Charlie Bell, aims for a 10-to-1 engineer-to-PM ratio, up from 5.5-to-1.
- Earlier this year, Microsoft let go of 2,000 employees deemed low performers.
- Potential cuts may also target employees with 'Impact 80' or lower performance scores for two consecutive years.
- Microsoft evaluates employees on a 'ManageRewards slider' from 0 to 200, influencing stock awards and bonuses.
