Microsoft decides to "improve effectiveness, efficiency of its marketing" by shitcanning 200 people
LOS ANGELES -- Microsoft Corp. said it laid off some of its marketing staff on Wednesday as part of an effort to restructure its operations.
The company did not specify how many of its 92,000 employees were let go, but a person familiar with the software maker's strategy said about 200 people lost their jobs.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose details of the restructuring effort.
In a statement, the Redmond, Wash.-based company said it was taking steps to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its marketing operations.
