Microsoft workers vent over cuts in benefits

Seattle Times | at | by Mike

Has the Kool-Aid at Microsoft gone bad?

Employees are incensed over cuts in benefits announced last week, according to an internal survey posted on one worker's Web site. When asked to post comments on the cuts Monday, many of workers railed against the company, its management and its policies.

"Microsoft's benefits used to somewhat make up for what is a difficult place to work," wrote one poster. "Are we now going in the direction that it will be both difficult and unrewarding?"
