Not when the company told the existing engineers they can’t afford raises and have to lower bonuses. Then they openly offer much larger payouts to all the new folks.
Might or might not be worth it, but there’s no way that doesn’t create massive resentment.
I doubt all of those 700+ employees are ML Researchers. For the majority of that employee base there would be an equivalent role already in MS. That wouldn't go well with them.
Eg. There would be atleast 1 web-developer in OpenAI who would have written the ChatGPT UI. That person for all we know might be better payed that the web-developer folks working on Bing UI.
If MSR people wanted OpenAI salaries they could have applied to OpenAI.
Why? Hiring a bunch of great engineers with relevant experience usually goes over well in teams I been in.
