Microsoft continues to cut corners at its large company. curiously the latest cuts will affect Microsoft's mobile division and not to another department of the company. In conclusion, these cuts will mean a series of layoffs that exceed a thousand jobs.
Specifically they will be more than 1850 employees leaving Microsoft, above all, the bulk of «this pack»Of layoffs will correspond to the workforce that Microsoft acquired after the purchase of Nokia, which makes us think that the Lumia family could be in danger of continuing or so it seems.
The laid off employees will still be from the old Nokia
Although the news has not been fully confirmed by Microsoft itself, we do know that the head of the department, Terry Myerson has sent a private letter to all the workers in the department praising their efforts in recent months and insisting that these cuts are made for the sole purpose of continuing to improve and make Microsoft a more productive and manageable company than it is. The letter has been leaked to the media and that has been used to confirm the news and to see how Microsoft remains optimistic about its mobile division even though the results are getting worse.
In any case it seems that Microsoft wants to renew itself and forget its Finnish past, something that certifies the arrival of the Surface Phone, a ghost device according to Microsoft but a reality for many of us who follow Microsoft's movements. But don't forget that Microsoft has opted for a radical and extreme decision: layoffs. Possibly a better option has been the relocation of staff to other departments, staff that could be useful for the company and that now will not be there to help, unfortunately.
