According to Business Insider, this particular round of job cuts is aimed at reducing staff in a number of business units, such as sales, marketing, and human resources, rather than being directed at specific groups as with previous reductions.
While the cut is significant to the 700 people who will be looking inside or outside of Microsoft for new positions, it’s a far cry from the 7,400 cut in fiscal 2015 and the 18,000 axed in 2014. Such cuts are nothing new to companies like Microsoft with over 100,000 employees, but it’s a shame that such a dynamic personality as Roper was included.
