It seems that the computer market he’s not having a good time. After a great acceleration during the last years, where the demand far exceeded the available supply, the excesses now translate into low sales that companies have to deal with. As a result of this, small and large companies fire workers, as is the case with microsoft that Has fired to another 1,000 more employees of its staff. This is the third downsizing of the company this 2022.
In large companies this is less noticeable, since these 1,000 employees only suppose less than 1% of the more than 180,000 employees that Microsoft has around the world. The layoffs have been made in different departments, positions and different locations all over the world. These layoffs are added to those that the company has previously made, with similar figures, in addition to those caused by the closure of its activity in Russia.
microsoft is not the only big company that suffers from this situation, we have already seen this in other big companies like Snapchat that has fired at 20% of its staff, EKWB laid off at 25% 6 months ago or more recently Coinbase that fired more than 1,000 employees by running out of some contracts.

I am a Computer Engineer and my specialty is automation and robotics. My passion for hardware began at the age of 14 when I gutted my first computer: a 386 DX 40 with 4MB of RAM and a 210MB hard drive. I continue to give free rein to my passion in the technical articles that I write in Geeknetic. I spend most of my free time playing video games, contemporary and retro, on the more than 20 consoles I have, in addition to the PC.
