Microsoft is far from alone in announcing signficant layoffs. CNBC has the tally at 60,000 total jobs:
- Microsoft: 10,000
- Amazon: 18,000 (mostly retail, but reports that the Alexa division lost $10B last year would have me polishing my resume if I worked on that)
- Facebook: 11,000
- Salesforce: 7,000
CNBC put Google on the list, but at just 230 employees (from their health service division), that’s a different ballpark.
