Post by asimj1 »

The computing giant has cut about 3,000 jobs from its offices around the world. It is the second round of layoffs following the 1,400 job cuts made in January. Microsoft's plans will see a total of 5,000 job cuts planned in waves through 2010.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has informed architect data his staff via an internal email of the company's continued plans to cut jobs, CNet reported .

Microsoft's restructuring began in January, following the company's poor results in 2008. The restructuring plans extend until June 2010 and its main objective is the elimination of repetitive structures, which will mean a total of 5,000 fewer jobs.

"Microsoft will continue to closely monitor the impact of the economic crisis," Ballmer told Microsoft employees, leaving the door open to further staff reductions.
