Microsoft Nigeria Sacks 34 Workers In Phone Division (Out of 40)

Microsoft on Thursday sacked 34 (85 per
cent) of the 40 employees in the Nigerian
office of its phone division.
The sacking came 24 hours after the
company's latest Windows 10 was made
available in Nigeria and 189 other countries.
Although, Windows 10 is now available as a
free upgrade for Windows 7 and 8.1
operating systems or with new personal
computers and tablets, industry experts said
it would leave about 15 million Nigerian
payments cards prone to hacking.
Employees at the Nigerian office were silent
on the matter, but a source said that the
downsizing was part of the global decision of
Microsoft to streamline its phone division.
The source said the sacking was in line with
the massive layoff of workers "sweeping
through the global offices of Microsoft's
phone division."
The Chief Executive Officer, Microsoft, Satya
Nadella, had said in a memo to all Nigerian
employees in late June that the company
needed to make some "tough choices" in
areas that were not working.
The memo had stated that 7,800 jobs would
be cut from the mobile division working on
Windows Phone hardware.
