Microsoft Looks to Cut Up to 18,000 Jobs
So MS Bought Nokia and ~30k employees for ~$7.2 billion last April.<p>3 months later, MS may now be firing ~half of the Nokia group. The executives who drove that catastrophic deal stay.<p>What a testament to how disastrous big M&A really is. Is there any large acquisition that succeeded in the last 10 years? I'd feel sorry if I was a Nokia guy there, they pulled out the best non-Apple phone hardware in the last years.<p>Probably also a good reminder for Blackberry - dont sell yourself and die trying, it actually can't get worse.
