Microsoft Severance Pay Blunder Costs Mostly Unemployed Ex-Employees

In what could come as a rude shock to certain Microsoft ex-employees, the individuals the company fired as part of its recent workforce reduction schemes, as reactions to a deteriorating world economy, the company wants portions of the money it gave as severance packages back, which it finds as an overpayment caused due to an administrative error. As part of Microsoft's penny-saving schemes, the company sought to axe as many as 5,000 jobs, 1,400 of which were lost in this month alone.

Microsoft's human-resources department admitted to the error when working out and issuing severance packages to some ex-employees. If the ex-employees weren't unfortunate enough already for having lost their jobs, Microsoft now demands the portion of its severance package that is overpaid, back from its recipients. In a letter sent to all liable individuals, the company expresses sincere apologies as it asks for the overpayment to be returned. The letter is posted on Scribd and can be read here. Microsoft gives its ex-employees, most of whom are unemployed at the moment, 14 days to return the money.

UPDATE (02/24): In a fresh report by MSNBC, Microsoft admits to the fact that administrative glitches caused it to pay more severance than intended to some laid-off employees, and the company intended to ask for the overpaid amount back through private communication. The plan took a sour turn with a copy of the letter surfaced on the internet, turning out to be embarrassing for the company. Lisa Brummel, senior VP for human resources, in an interview to MSNBC shared some figures: only 25 out of the 1,400 recently laid-off employees were sent the letter, the degree of discrepancies measured around US $4,000~5,000 per odd payment. The executive reportedly called most of the 25 laid-off employees Monday to personally tell them Microsoft would not seek repayment after all.

Microsoft Severance Pay Blunder Costs Mostly Unemployed Ex-Employees

Your right Newtekie1, the majority is not unemployed and everyone that works in a large corporation is not an executive but the poorly allocated pay checks have helped bring upon this situation.

Im sorry for those that have lost their jobs, not only in M$ but for every company that felt it needed to let go of staff. $5,000 U.S is probably a years wage in some countries around the world. Yes the employees deserve to keep the over paid amount. Badluck Microsoft, and goodluck ex-employees in the future.

I wonder if Microsoft were using a Microsoft application to miscalculate the situation. Better to blame it on a random executive then on a Microsoft calculator.

 

How can I remove our company credit card from a former employee's recurring payment for MS 365?

If a former employee is still associated with a recurring payment for Microsoft 365 and you need to remove your company's credit card from that payment, here are general steps you can take:

1. Access the Microsoft 365 Admin Center:
   
   • Log in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center using the credentials of a user with administrative privileges.
     
2. Navigate to Billing:
   
   • In the Admin Center, find and select the "Billing" or "Billing & Subscriptions" section. This is where you manage your Microsoft 365 subscriptions and payments.
     
3. Locate the Subscription:
   
   • Look for the specific Microsoft 365 subscription associated with the former employee. Identify the subscription that needs to be updated.
     
4. Update Payment Information:
   
   • Within the subscription details, there should be an option to update or change the payment information. This is where you can remove the credit card associated with the recurring payment.
     
5. Remove Credit Card:
   
   • Choose the option to manage payment methods or billing details. Locate the credit card you want to remove and follow the prompts to delete or replace it.
     
6. Add New Payment Method (Optional):
   
   • If required, you can add a new payment method for the Microsoft 365 subscription. Ensure that the new payment method belongs to your organization and is not tied to the former employee.
     
7. Save Changes:
   
   • After making the necessary changes, save your updates. The system should confirm the changes, and the former employee's credit card should no longer be associated with the subscription.
     
8. Verify Changes:
   
   • Double-check the subscription details to confirm that the credit card information has been successfully removed. Ensure that the new payment method (if added) is correctly associated with the subscription.
     

It's important to note that the specific steps and options may vary slightly depending on the version of Microsoft 365 you are using and the subscription plan. If you encounter any difficulties or if the former employee's credit card persists, you may need to contact Microsoft Support for assistance.
