Microsoft Fires Employee After 33 Years: Hear His Response

The post about Jeff Bogdan, a former Microsoft employee, has received over 2,800 reactions. Jeff worked at Microsoft for over three decades before his abrupt termination in February. His job was eliminated due to Human Resources adopting the hub and spoke model for Learning and Development (L&D), a strategy he had strongly advocated for.

In a LinkedIn post, Jeff reflected on his experience at Microsoft, highlighting the end of his 33-year tenure and expressing gratitude for his time there. He emphasized that his career had been incredible and that the biggest payoff came in the last 2 years when he secured an L&D role in Windows. Unfortunately, his position was eliminated as his division already had a team in place.

Despite this setback, Jeff remains optimistic about his future, expressing a desire to continue contributing in a new career. His post garnered significant attention, with users expressing support and sharing their own experiences of job loss and career transitions. They empathized with Jeff’s situation and offered words of encouragement for his future endeavors.
