Some Microsoft employees have criticized the company's decision to halt raises and cut bonus and stock awards, according to internal messages viewed by Insider that were directed at executives.
A later email from Microsoft's chief people officer, Kathleen Hogan, which was viewed by Insider, instructed managers to give fewer employees "exceptional rewards."
While the comments may not reflect the feelings of all employees at Microsoft, they provide a window into employee sentiment over these changes.
On the all-hands call, Bell said: "Merit increases and employee pay are supply and demand-driven, and for years we have enjoyed bigger paychecks than our peers in other sectors."
