Following rumours about getting rid of thousands of employees globally, Microsoft has now officially announced that it is cutting about 3,000 jobs from its global workforce due to a major reorganisation. That is around 10 percent of the company's total sales staff.
Microsoft sees big growth potential when it comes to its Azure cloud platform and will be focusing more on sales related to the platform. The Azure revenue is rapidly growing - 93 percent last quarter and the company wants to invest more to beat its two major competitors, Amazon and Google.
Microsoft is implementing changes to better serve our customers and partners. Today, we are taking steps to notify some employees that their jobs are under consideration or that their positions will be eliminated. Like all companies, we evaluate our business on a regular basis. This can result in increased investment in some places and, from time-to-time, re-deployment in others.
