18,000 Microsoft employees lose their jobs!
~ Xbox division is, however, not very hard hit ~
It is Nokia department hardest hit by the cuts, and here the whole 12,500 employees go, that is half of what Microsoft did with them when they bought Nokia for 7.2 billion dollars earlier this year. Department players they are interested in, ie Xbox department, in turn will escape a great deal cheaper - without a specific on exactly how hard the cuts affects these employees.
to get rid of all 18,000 employees. It is thus a question of the biggest cuts ever for giant.
Microsoft boss Satya Nadella information about this in an email to all their employees, and said briefly summarized that the cutbacks happens that Microsoft's working to become more effective, and that they must shift the focus to other departments:
"Downsizing is necessary to make our methods work easier, be more flexible and to move forward faster. With the modernization of our processes will also change our expectations of the various departments ours."
Moreover alerts Nadella also that its structure becomes flatter with fewer layers, which according to him will lead to increased efficiency of business processes. All changes to increase the productivity of the company in general, where the various working groups generally also will have more influence.

eat this MICROSOFT for Xbox thing you ve made - it was stupid from you, PC is still best and always will be for games and everything else haha, thing anything about what I ve just said but they invested too many into Xbox and actually it is total disaster with all Xbox thing and now they gonna pay for what they ve made and they dont have enough money to pay for all their workers so they need to slowly fire them all out from the COMPANY!!!
ouch
Xbox one, Windows 8, Nokia division's debt, a few failed bids..all adding insult to injury. Their new CEO seems to be taking steps to get back on the right track but It is a shame all these people will lose their jobs.
But with several Failures and so much Bloat it had to be done sadly.
Xbox was actually the only console i liked .. too sad it ended up for the people like this and i still have a dream about newer halo titles comming to pc ;_;
Nadella wants to restructure the grand company and limit the redundancy so it seems.
Looks like a good move.
