In a recent LinkedIn post, Jeff Bogdan, who spent 33 years at Microsoft, shared his experience after being abruptly terminated from his position as Director of Learning and Development (L&D) at Microsoft Windows in February. Bogdan’s termination came as the company adopted a new hub and spoke model for L&D, a strategy he had advocated for but ultimately led to his job elimination.
In his post, Bogdan expressed gratitude for his time at Microsoft, describing it as an “incredible ride.” He highlighted the significant impact he made in the last two years by securing an L&D role in Windows, focusing on fostering a “teach-it-all” mindset alongside the existing “learn-it-all” culture within the organization.
However, his efforts to align learning investments and offerings were cut short when HR decided to implement the hub and spoke model, leading to his departure. Despite this setback, Bogdan remains optimistic about his future and is determined to find his second career.
Since sharing his story, Bogdan’s post has garnered significant attention, with over 2,800 reactions and supportive comments from fellow professionals. Many expressed admiration for Bogdan’s contributions to Microsoft and offered words of encouragement for his future endeavors.
The news of Bogdan’s departure highlights the challenges faced by long-term employees in adapting to organizational changes and the resilience required to navigate career transitions. It also reflects the broader trends in the tech industry as companies evolve their strategies and structures to remain competitive in a rapidly changing landscape.
