Microsofthas not been doing very well lately, at least as far as the employer's position is concerned. After announcing in May that it would lay off 1850 employees in connection with the sale of Nokia's "robber" phone division,ancs, now adding another 2850 employees that the company will lay off and again it will be about employmentance former Nokia.
When two years ago Microsoft He bought Nokia, gained 32 thousand employees through the acquisitionancs, but within two years almost 30 of them were laid off. Last year alone, Microsoft 7400 employees said goodbyeancand there will be more this year. That the Nokia acquisition was not the best move in history MicrosoftIt's been an open secret since...well, actually, a few days before he bought it.
Nokia acquired Microsoft for $7,2 billion, but to date, according to Business Insider, the accounting loss associated with the acquisition is already $7,6 billion, meaning that Microsoft lost a total of almost $15 billion thanks to Nokia.
Currently Microsoft It controls less than three percent of the mobile industry in terms of market share. Microsoft Of course, it can't just give up any share of the mobile market, but if it continues as it is currently doing, all it will do is write off billions of dollars every year.
So the question is what will change in the future. Already this year Microsoft sold off Nokia's entire "dumb" phone division, but that probably won't be enough tooneHe has really broken through in a market where he has not been able to do much so far.
