    Former HR exec at Microsoft lists 3 types of employees at most risk during layoffs

    Chris Williams, former vice president of human resources at Microsoft (Image credit: LinkedIn) Following Microsoft's announcement on January 18 to lay off 10,000 employees, accounting for almost 5 percent of its global workforce, a former vice-president of human resources has come forward to share three categories of employees who are at most risk of being fired and two of the safest categories.
    Chris Williams, who is now a podcaster, consultant and TikTok creator told Business Insider, "Every industry, company, even department has a different risk, but some areas are more vulnerable than others."
    He then listed the three most unsafe categories.
    "At the extreme end of the risk spectrum are contract employees.
    Such employees too are at risk during layoffs if the company decides to play it safe. "
    Unless the company is making a concerted effort to pivot entirely to these new areas, these kinds of new initiatives are often the first ones cut when times are leaner," Williams told Business Insider.
