In Fox Business’s program “Tech Rewind,” a quick look was taken into the hot tech stories of last week. Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT)’s biggest job cut in the decade remains the top story of the week.
Satya Nadella, the new CEO of Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT), took a bold step and announced that company will soon be firing 18,000 employees from different sections. Experts think that Nadella took this step to sustain the financial position of the company and revamp the infrastructure, which he wants to be based on the “Mobile-First-Cloud First” approach. Experts also think that job cut of this level may look very odd, but it can help Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) refine its market graphs in the coming future. Most of the job cuts are from the areas which were acquired by Microsoft, not from the core areas of the company.
