Microsoft grabs employment guns, aims at British sales units

Re: Is that a leak-

Let's face it; the technologies being touted by Microsoft, as well as the technologies failing in Microsoft, are all likely to see some redundancy as far as staffing goes. The biggest problem, as ever, will be whether the redundancies are made to boost revenue, something that seems apparent in the banking industry at present, or it is done to save the company from haemorrhaging money on projects that are no longer relevant.

Much as I might dislike Microsoft and some of its past deeds, it's never pleasant to see people booted out because a company took a risk and failed, or if they took an incorrect decision, especially because I know that the people are the top of the company will still be there and will still have all the dosh.

Re: Is that a leak-

Err, we're talking about 100 people here. big companies are restructuring all the time taking people on and laying them off - it's just business as usual.

I'm not saying there isn't a bigger story about MS, but I don't think you can say for sure this is a symptom of it.

Re: Here's a thought

I think it's the last sentence of your post. But there also seems to be a revolving door policy... Booted from MS.. goto Cisco... booted from Cisco, goto HP.. etc. etc. Funny thing is, the people I've known that do this never, ever, retrain on "new tech"... they just sell it.

And I guess they all installed Win10 before it became unfree...
