Microsoft to lay off thousands in sales, marketing reshuffle
-
SAN FRANCISCO — Microsoft plans to shed thousands of jobs in a major reboot to focus on its fast-growing cloud-computing business.
"Microsoft is implementing changes to better serve our customers and partners," Microsoft said in a statement to USA TODAY. "Today, we are taking steps to notify some employees that their jobs are under consideration or that their positions will be eliminated. Like all companies, we evaluate our business on a regular basis. This can result in increased investment in some places and, from time-to-time, re-deployment in others."
