Microsoft cuts another 800 jobs
More positions to go following 5000-strong lay-offs in January
5 November 2009 9:19 GMT / By Amy-Mae Elliott
Microsoft has revealed it is cutting an additional 800 jobs across its global operations, further to the previous cuts announced in January.
Reuters quotes a spokesperson for Microsoft stating these latest job cuts are spread out across the company's global operations, but with around 200 positions to go from its headquarters in Redmond, Washington.
Back in January Microsoft said it would be slashing 5000 staff from its workforce as it revealed a sharp drop in profits.
At the time the layoffs were reported as a first for Microsoft since it was founded in 1975, apart from staff cuts made from reorganisation after company acquisitions.
