85 Percent Of Nigerians Sacked In Microsoft

On Thursday, Microsoft fired 34 employees in the Nigerian office of its phone division.
According to Punch, the issue came up after the latest Windows 10 was made available in Nigeria and 189 other countries.
Industry experts confirmed that it would leave about 15 million Nigerian payments cards subject to hacking.
It was reported that the retrenching was a global decision of Microsoft to rationalize its phone section.

Meanwhile, the Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella, had said in a memo to all Nigerian employees in late June that the company needed to make some tough decision in areas that were not working emphasizing that 7,800 jobs would be cut from the mobile division working on Windows Phone hardware.
Although he said that in the near future, the company would run a “more effective” phone portfolio, he added, “But that doesn’t exactly throw the company’s weight behind the platform.”
Nadella said that the move would not give partners reassurance that the platform was a good choice to build new hardware or apps for the future.
