Microsoft confirms thousands of job cuts
As reported earlier in the week, Microsoft will be laying off thousands of jobs, in total 105 of its workforce. Reports from last week suggested this was going to happen and that Microsoft was going to specifically focus on how it sells its cloud-services product, Azure.
Microsoft said its goal isn't to cut costs and the move is instead a change in how Microsoft handles sales. It said its plan is to use employees who are more knowledgeable about specific verticals so they can sell bigger packages.
Microsoft has 71,000 employees in the U.S. and 121,000 employees around the globe, suggesting that these cuts are relatively small compared to the size of its entire workforce. The job cuts amount to less than 10 percent of the company's total sales force, and about 75 percent of them will be outside the U.S., the company said.

I suppose it means 10%. The "5" is on the same key as "%" (using shift) on ANSI keyboard that we use in The Netherlands. 10% is a lot though.
Typo ... "105 of its workforce".

105 is nothing...
But you meant ~10,500, I'm sure. Intel lays off batches of 10k employees every few years--then hires them back, later. The layoffs always make the "news," but the rehires seldom do.
