Microsoft is reportedly considering another round of layoffs next month.

While the number of jobs at risk is unknown, reports suggest Microsoft will be cutting the number of managers in its employ.

Low performing workers are also reportedly on the chopping block.

Microsoft got rid of that in 2014 or so, when Nadella took over.

Having a more aggressive manager is important for getting a better bonus.
