Microsoft Cutting 7800 jobs from its Hardware division

[NinerL]

Do you have any source to back that up?

 

Microsoft is just culling the NOKIA staff that came over with that buyout. They have no need of 7000+ Mobile Device engineers.

 

Besides, Microsoft has so much money that they could literally stop selling all products, and continue to operate for for like 10 years while paying all staff.

 

I do not envision Microsoft "dying", or even "shrinking", anytime soon. All evidence points towards Microsoft growing even bigger.

The fall of Microsoft is near, we'll just have to wait for Windows 10, Surface, and their Lumia lines to flop and then we shall rejoice.

 

You have no idea how big Microsoft is, do you?

 

Even with Microsoft cutting 26,000 jobs in the past 1.5 years, they still have more than double the amount of employees as Google (Microsoft 112,000 after 26,000 cuts, Google at 55,000 currently). They also made $20 Billion more in revenue for FY2014 than Google with Microsoft at $86.68 Billion and Google at $66.00 Billion. They also made $8 Billion more in profit as well with Microsoft at $22.07 Billion and Google at $14.44 Billion.

 

But yeah, you're probably just trolling for attention anyway.

It is a small industry for some people apparently.

One small things happend, and somehow they can link it to some doomsday story.

Quite hilarious indeed.
