A Blind app user, claiming to be a senior Microsoft engineer, said the company paid him $632,000 (about ₹5.5 crore) to quit. Of the total payout, Microsoft paid $40,000 continuation pay, $143,000 lump-sum severance and $350,000 retirement stock. "No animosity here, feeling pretty good about what Microsoft gave me," the techie said. "Holy hell!" a Blind user replied.
