Berkeley EECS Alumni - I Reported Wrongful Layoffs at Microsoft. Then I was Accused of Being in DOGE.
Wrongfully terminated in June 2025 following a retaliatory Performance Improvement Plan issued days after reporting security policy violations and after requesting ADA accommodations for ADHD. Despite a documented pattern of systemic onboarding failures, missing/wrong/misleading documentation, nonfunctional IT infrastructure outsourced to third-party contractors, and management gaslighting corroborated by multiple colleagues. Reflects a broader pattern at large tech companies like Microsoft of using performance management processes to gaslight employees or rationalize failures of AI tooling to systematically reduce US headcount.
