Another 2850 people cut, Microsoft completely abandon the mobile phone business?

On Thursday, US local time, Microsoft submitted a document to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which shows that Microsoft plans to lay off 2850 people in the mobile phone division within the next 12 months.

It should be noted that this layoff was a continuation of Microsoft's announcement in May of this year to cut 1,850 mobile phone jobs. Microsoft stated that based on the 1,850 layoffs, it will also cut about 2,850 jobs worldwide in the next year and it is expected to end before the end of fiscal year 2017.

It is understood that the Microsoft sales department is the hardest hit in the new round of layoffs. At present, about 900 employees in the sales department have received layoff notices. Not long ago, in the reorganization of the sales department, Microsoft COO Kevin Turner has also left.

In fact, the mobile phone business has long been downgraded to Microsoft's tasteless, the weakness of the Windows phone even affects the achievement of the Windows 10 goal. According to a group of data released recently, Windows 10 has more than 350 million active devices per month, but it is far behind the one billion users of Microsoft.

Industry sources said that although the growth of Windows 10 is good, it is not easy to achieve the goal, but Microsoft's Windows mobile phone business is still weak, the first quarter of this year, Windows mobile phone market share of the global smartphone market is less than 1%, plus Windows The 10 free upgrade service has stopped, and the installed capacity of 1 billion units is almost a fantasy. Microsoft also has to adjust this goal.

In 2014, Microsoft’s acquisition of Nokia hoped to catch up with Samsung, Apple and other vendors in the mobile market. However, two years later, there was almost no improvement. A new round of layoffs may mean that Microsoft will completely abandon the smart phone business.
