Citing "a person familiar with the matter," The Wall Journal is reporting Microsoft plans to hand out pink slips to some employees, possibly as soon as this week.
It isn't known exactly how many employees are being let go, but according to WSJ's source, it will be much less than the 5,000 or so workers the software juggernaut laid off last year.
No one section will bear the brunt of the cuts, and instead Microsoft is expected to lay off employees from various divisions. The small number of layoffs is also in line with similar reductions in staff Microsoft has done in the past, the un-named source said.
