CEO Satya Nadella wrote in an open letter to his employees that up to 18,000
jobs would cut by next summer, noting that the “vast majority” of cut employees
would be notified within the next six months. This will be the biggest round of
layoffs in the company’s 29-year history. He said that 12,500 layoffs would
come from the Nokia Devices and Services division, which Microsoft purchased in September 2013 and the end of
2013, and had about 91,000 employees as this issue went to press. Nadella said
that all workers affected by the cuts would receive a severance package, as
well as job transition help.
