Employee blog post stirs rumors of possible Microsoft layoffs
For weeks, we've been hearing rumblings of possible layoffs at Microsoft. Now Mini-Microsoft, the anonymous Microsoft employee blogger, is weighing in on the "Microsoft layoff and cut-backs and Reduction In Force rumors."
"Bad news on the rise and with perhaps January 15th 2009 as an interesting day for Microsoft news. Bad news," Mini-Microsoft writes. "15 Jan is a week before FY09Q2 quarterly results and it's better to share as much news, good and bad, before the results are released vs. surprising Wall Street (something I think we've learned)."
Given Mini-Microsoft's large following at Microsoft, his comments are bound to feed the layoff speculation. We'll be watching his blog for updates. A Microsoft spokesman declined to comment.
