Yet another round of layoffs at Microsoft to affect 2,850 people
After massive job cuts
last year, Microsoft has announced another round of layoffs. While the
earlier number stood at over 7,000, the Redmond, Washington-based
company is cutting approximately 2,850 roles this time.
"In addition to the elimination of 1,850 positions that were
announced in May 2016, approximately 2,850 roles globally will be
reduced during the year as an extension of the earlier plan, and these
actions are expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2017,"
Microsoft said in its latest filing with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
While last year's lay offs largely affected those associated with the company's phone business, there's no such information this time around. Reports say around 900 of those being let go are from the software giant's sales group.
