Microsoft Needs To Cut 30,000-40,000 Employees, Says Ex-Microsoftie
,----[ Quote ]
| As for the headcount issue, our source says
| there's probably 30,000 to 40,000 more
| employees than needed at Microsoft. There's a
| lot of overlapping roles, and employees at
| the company are focused on solving internal
| issues, rather than fighting external
| competitors.

Ex-exec says Microsoft should cut up to 40,000 jobs
,----[ Quote ]
| A former Microsoft executive today argued
| that Microsoft could easily cut 30,000 to
| 40,000 employees. The unnamed worker claimed
| that CEO Steve Ballmer organizes every
| division identically. While it keeps the
| company simple, it also creates unnecessary
| overhead and isn't as effective as it could
| be, the executive told SAI.

It's said Microsoft is still laying off quietly (see below).

| Stealth Layoffs: comments here for a while
| have been saying don't expect anymore large
| layoffs but do expect ongoing stealth
| layoffs, the kind that don't trigger the
| WARN act, let alone publicity. If you see
| your leadership meeting with HR far more
| frequently than usual, should you be
| nervous? Well, first step, ask what's up.
| If the answer is unsatisfying and doesn't
| ring true: yep, be nervous, especially as
| FY10 wraps up and new FY11 reduced budgets
| kick in.
