CNBC, citing Microsoft sources, said that cuts will be made through attrition and within the ranks of contract employees and not from full-time staff. Microsoft said it had no comment on the layoff rumors, but clearly with the state of the economy no company is immune. Chris Liddell, Microsoft's CFO said during the October earnings report<http://www.networkworld.com/news/2008/102308-microsoft-earnings.html>the company was adjusting downward its guidance for the second fiscal quarter of 2009. The report on that quarter will come Jan. 22. http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/010509-microsoft-layoff-rumors.html --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""GLOBAL SPECULATORS"" group.
