Microsoft not to Slash Jobs in Greater China
Microsoft announced it is cutting its global workforce again. The company says in a report that it will cut a further 800 jobs in various departments worldwide, bringing the number of jobs axed to 58 hundred, 800 more than the target announced this year.
Chen Ranfeng, the spokesman for Microsoft China, says that the China branch is not included in the cutbacks.
Microsoft announced early this year that it would cut 5 thousand jobs by June 2010, which is the biggest job cutting move since Microsoft was founded 34 years ago.
Microsoft says that it will continue recruitment in some key fields, but it didn’t mention whether it would further cut the workforce in near future.
