Microsoft cuts another 800 jobs â Whats the âstoryâ this time?
,----[ Quote ]
| Before we go into the article it is worth
| mentioning that Boycott Novell reported the
| 800 job cuts way before the news hit the
| mainstream media. Detractors to the BN
| website may like to consider that fact. | http://boycottnovell.com/wiki/index.php/Main_P
| age
|
| As the US is officially out of the recession
| (with the UK lagging slightly) more job
| losses are announced from Redmond, 800
| (allegedly) of them, with the cuts
| apparently coming in the sales and marketing
| sections. Could this be a reason why we saw
| this? â is Microsoft getting so hard up that
| it generates Twitter accounts to do its
| bidding? (and very badly I hasten to add)

The first ones to go are the marketing "Munchkins", no? Maybe this is why they
are sccccccccccreaming in this newsgroup, out of sheer anger.
Microsoft's AstroTurfing clout will diminish as fast as the business.
