Microsoft köper ut 25% av sina anställda - Företagsprinciperna!!!

För ett par veckor kom det ut att Microsoft erbjuder att köpa ut 25% av sina anställda, alltså 60.000 personer. De som inte accepterar att bli utköpa kommer sannolikt att förlora jobbet på ett eller annat sätt... 
Gäller från "vice president" nivår och neråt. 
Många anställda känner sig säkert uppgivna.
"Hur kan dem sparka mig, jag som är så viktig". "Jag har varit lojal i 20 år, hur kan dem göra såhär?". "Jag gör samma arbete som 3 personer, jag förtjänar mer pengar eller att få vara kvar!"

Lite principer nedan för hur ett företag fungerar för dem som är naiva och tror att man är "en enda stor familj"... 

Corporate principles

1
Promotions are political
Promotions aren’t based on performance alone. Relationships, visibility and management priorities matter.
2
You’re replaceable
Companies need employees, but they can replace individuals when business circumstances change.
3
Compensation follows budgets
Your salary is influenced by compensation bands and budget constraints, not just your value.
4
Your job is to create value
Understand what your employer needs and demonstrate how your work contributes to it.
5
Understand the business
Learn how the company makes money and what drives its financial performance.
6
Know how decisions are made
Understand who has influence and how decisions are reached in your organisation.
7
Build professional relationships
Your network and reputation can influence opportunities throughout your career.
8
Make your achievements visible
Doing excellent work isn’t enough if decision-makers don’t understand its impact.
9
Don’t depend on loyalty
Years of service don’t guarantee job security or career progression.
10
Understand your market value
Don’t assume your current salary reflects what another employer would pay you.
11
Develop transferable skills
Build expertise that remains valuable outside your current company.
12
Don’t confuse colleagues with close friends
Maintain good relationships, but protect your professional boundaries.
13
Companies prioritise their interests
Business decisions can change quickly when financial or strategic circumstances change.
14
Protect your career options
Maintain your skills, reputation and external network so you aren’t dependent on one employer.
