"Restructures" as in making it much smaller.
- tdicola 11y ago> much smaller Not really, they have ~118k employees and are planning to remove about 7800, so about a 7% reduction. For reference Apple has 98k employees, Google 55k, Facebook 10k.
- CaptainApathy 11y agoAround half of Apple's are retail employees. Microsoft has retail employees as well, but overall their employee mix is very different. Still, your main point stands: a 7% reduction is perhaps significant, but probably not "large."
