Microsoft notified more than 3,000 workers today that it was eliminating their jobs. The software maker said in January, when it made 1400 cuts, that it would delete up to 5,000 jobs over the next 18 months. With the second wave of notifications today, Microsoft has cut nearly all 5,000 jobs already. Although it didn’t announce further layoffs, the fact that the company has already made nearly all the reductions under the January plan means further job actions will have to come under a new round of cuts. In a memo to Microsoft workers, CEO Steve Ballmer left the door open to further action.
