マイクロソフトが１８０００人をクビに。会社創設以来の大カットとなる見込み。
１２万７千人規模の世界企業が３０年続く中で最大のカットとなる。
ただし、これはノキアを買収するときに既に既定路線だったものではある。
それがやや拡大したというもの。

Microsoft is to cut up to 18,000 jobs marking the deepest cuts in the technology firm’s 39-year history.
The bulk of the cuts, around 12,500, will be in its phone unit Nokia, which Microsoft bought in April, the firm said.
Microsoft pledged to cut $600m (£350.8m) per year in costs within 18 months of closing the acquisition.
The cuts are much more severe than the 6,000 initially expected.
The firm employs 127,000 globally, including 3,500 staff in the UK.
Microsoft declined to say how many jobs in the UK would be cut as a result of the changes.
Chief executive officer Satya Nadella, who took the helm in February, wants the firm to shift its focus away from software to online services, apps and devices.
“Making these decisions to change are difficult, but necessary,” Mr Nadella wrote in the announcement to staff.
The firm said it also planned to have fewer layers of management “to accelerate the flow of information and decision making.”
Microsoft said staff affected by the job cuts would be notified over the next six months, and they would be “fully completed” by the the end of June next year.•••
