Microsoft Fires 34 Out Of 40 Nigerian Staffs by SWAGGAVILLAGE(m): 4:46pm On Jul 31, 2015
Microsoft on Thursday sacked 34 (85 per cent)
of the 40 employees in the Nigerian office of its
phone division.
The sacking came 24 hours after the company’s
latest Windows 10 was made available in
Nigeria and 189 other countries.
Employees at the Nigerian office were silent on
the matter, but a source said that the
downsizing was part of the global decision of
Microsoft to streamline its phone division.
The source said the sacking was in line with the
massive layoff of workers “sweeping through the
global offices of Microsoft’s phone division.”
The Chief Executive Officer, Microsoft, Satya
Nadella, had said in a memo to all Nigerian
employees in late June that “the company
needed to make some “tough choices” in areas
that were not working”.
The memo had stated that 7,800 jobs would be
cut from the mobile division working on
Windows Phone hardware.
The e-mail from Nadella to all employees, which
was made available to our correspondent, read,
“We are moving from a strategy to grow a
standalone phone business to a strategy to
grow and create a vibrant Windows ecosystem,
including our first-party device family.
