REDMOND, Wash.—Microsoft Corp. says it is cutting 800 more jobs. That's in addition to the 5,000 layoffs it announced in January.
Lou Gellos, a Microsoft spokesman, said Wednesday the cuts are being made in offices around the globe. He would not say what specific product groups or job types are affected.
Gellos also says Microsoft had already let nearly all of the 5,000 go, in what was the company's first-ever widespread layoffs.
