The latest game of visio pro lay offs is definitely, indeed, happening on July 7, as long-rumored plus expected!
According so that you can various comments I’ve seen — all of anonymous from those known “folks familiar with the problem” — the latest circular will probably be less grim and even more extensively multiply than last year’s two waves of cuts that totaled far more than 5,000 individuals!
I’ve been watching the particular growing stream of comments on this Mini Microsoft blog plus gathering reports (direct plus indirect) from individuals in a trenches today! It looks as if visio 2010 company’s Central Promotion Group (CMG), Enterprise Partner Group (EPG), the actual SharePoint/Office team and a search/advertising teams all of have made cuts! Most of this cuts I’ve heard with regards to have been in the actual marketing/sales organizations!
(The usual caveat, re: Mini Microsoft: Given this anonymous comments, it’s impossible in order to tell whether folks who are reporting in are real Microsoft employees or not! But based on other sources I’ve got — not so that you can mention a relatively high accuracy rate last year, in terms of Mini Microsoft comments regarding which teams/products/projects got cut — , it sounds like this reports there are in line with what’s actually happening!)
So far, there’s no word on what the actual final tally is definitely likely to be or whether there will end up being a follow-up Round 2 this year, like there was last year!
In a new blog post, published on July 6, Who Da’Punk (a k a Mini) shared a lot more of your internal back-and-forth over microsoft visio’s recent decision in order to pull your plug on the particular Kin (”Pink ”) phones! So far, I haven’t heard any talk that members of your Kin team were “kinned” today as part of this innovative round of cuts! Supposedly, Microsoft will be moving many of a Kin developers to the particular Windows Phone 7 team!
