Microsoft worker denied paid leave for brain surgery

Microsoft links disability pay to performance reviews. Knightley says that one review, despite years of positive appraisals, is keeping him from getting his pay.

"The company's values that they say we're supposed to exhibit, and that are supposed to exist in our policies, they don't translate," he said.

Many at Microsoft believe the policy is an attempt by the company to protect itself from workers who get an unfavorable review and then falsely claim stress or depression and cheat the company out of three months of paid medical leave while they look for another job..............
