Microsoft's global job cuts will affect workers in Spain
06/07/2017
MICROSOFT'S decision to slash 3,000 jobs worldwide will also affect workers in Spain, according to sources within the global software firm.
It is not clear as yet how many jobs in Spain will go, although it is expected Microsoft will offer a generous redundancy package and, in any case, the final deal will be policed and signed off by unions.
Most of jobs axed are expected to be in the USA, where Microsoft employs around 71,000 people, more than a third of its global total of 191,000.
A spokesman for the company, on US-based TV channel CNBC, said: “Microsoft is implementing changes in order to better serve its customers and shareholders, and the firm is notifying some of its employees to advise them that their positions are under consideration, or will be eliminated.”
