SAN FRANCISCO: Microsoft is cutting more jobs from its smartphone hardware and global sales divisions by shedding an additional 2,850 positions, the company said on Thursday.
The news came in a corporate annual report filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
It noted the company had announced in May it was cutting 1,850 jobs and that the new cuts were “an extension of the earlier plan.”
The cuts are expected to be completed by the end of June 2017. As of late last month, Microsoft employed about 114,000 people.

An unfortunate news. No one should have to be trimmed out.

Microsoft would have competed with Nokia, if they would have launch a Android/Nokia device using stock or standard Android instead of crappy Nokia X
