Microsoft Has Turned The Corner
,----[ Quote ]
| At Microsoft a lot more positions still need to go to achieve efficiency and
| focus. 15,000 more is my magic number. It's not personal. But to achieve
| efficiency and resolution of what to focus on with determination, we need a
| whole lot less people and to publicly admit there are opportunities we will
| focus on and others we are okay walking away from. ("That's right, Adobe: you
| can charge as much as you flipping want for your Photoshop line of
| software.")

Microsoft getting ready to lay off 17% of staff
,----[ Quote ]
| The rumor that Microsoft was set to lay off people on
| January 15th, 2009 is no longer a rumor but a fact. Staff
| at Microsoft have been informed that the company is
| readying major layoffs to its worldwide operations and it's
| not a small cut, either.
|
| Currently Microsoft employs about 90,000 people across the
| world and from what we're hearing, some 15,000 of those are
| expected to be giving marching orders come January 15th.
| That's almost 17 percent of Microsoft's total work force,
| not exactly a small number.
