Sales, marketing and support bearing the brunt of new Microsoft job cuts? | |

Where is Microsoft cutting jobs in Round 2 of its planned 5,000-person layoff? An alleged internal e-mail indicates that Microsoft’s Sales, Marketing and Service Group (SMSG) will be bearing the brunt of the latest cuts. CEO Steve Ballmer isn’t the only one firing off layoff missives to Microsoft employees on May 5. The lead cost cutter, Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner, seemingly has sent a Wave 2 layoff memo to the troops, as well. (I say “seemingly” here more as a formality than anything. Microsoft officials are declining to verify the authenticity of any memos about cost cuts other than CEO Steve Ballmer’s May 5 e-mail.) Turner’s alleged e-mail indicates that Microsoft’s Sales, Marketing and Service Group (SMSG) will be bearing the brunt of Round 2 of the Microsoft layoffs. Turner’s memo is up on the Mini-Microsoft India blog. | ||
