About 12,500 of the layoffs will come from eliminating overlaps with the
Nokia unit, which Microsoft acquired in April for $7.2 billion, with the
bulk of the cuts coming from Nokia itself. The acquisition of Nokia's
handset business in April added 25,000 people to Microsoft's payroll.
The Nokia-related cuts were widely expected. When it struck the deal,
Microsoft said it would cut $600 million per year in costs within 18 months
of closing the acquisition.
Excluding the Nokia cuts, the remaining 5,500 layoffs were not as shocking
as it first appeared, said Sid Parakh, an analyst at McAdams Wright Ragen.
"The aggregate number is still bigger than expected but it's not as big as
it comes across," he said. "There's going to be a lot of re-hiring in other
areas of the business. On a net basis, the numbers are small."
Microsoft's campus appears to have escaped heavy cuts, at least for now. The
first wave of layoffs include 1,351 jobs in the Seattle region, Microsoft
said.
About 1,100 jobs will be cut from Nokia's original home country of Finland,
according to government and union representatives there, with about half
coming from the closure of its research and development operation in the
northern city of Oulu.
Stephen Elop, the former CEO of Nokia who now runs Microsoft's devices unit,
said phone engineering efforts will now be concentrated in Salo and Tampere
, Finland, and it will reduce engineering work in Beijing and San Diego. He
said phone manufacturing will be focused in Hanoi, Vietnam, with some
production to continue in Beijing and Dongguan, China. Some Microsoft
manufacturing and repair operations will be moved to Manaus, Brazil and
Reynosa, Mexico, as it winds down operations in Komaron, Hungary. |
