Microsoft Layoffs Simply Rumors

Those interested in Internet marketing always have their ears to the ground when it comes to anything having to do with Microsoft. Over the past week, rumors have been flying that the giant will be laying off 17 percent of its workforce – or about 15,000 people – in the coming year. It now appears that the layoffs are just that – rumors – although the word is that contractors are receiving notices of non-renewal.

Microsoft is scheduled to release its second quarter financials on January 22, so it’s safe to assume that any drastic plans will be announced around then.
