WE have been cutting 200 to 250 people every week for months now, this continues and nothing will stop it - WSJ had an article earlier about switch to the cloud, they estimate we'll cut over 15000 over next 12 months, this is in line with what I was expecting but we'll see what happens...
WE need new skills, much more cloud oriented stuff and less people overall - you will see some MSFT old-timers depart very soon - there is a lot of folks who adopted a #RestAndVest attitude and that's is about to stop - if you do not like it now it may be good time to brush up your resume and see if Microsoft is really a good place for you... Peace out...
