Microsoft has decided to shut down business in Russia even further. The company is now laying off around 400 employees there. However, they should be supported.
Microsoft is about to make a big change to its business in Russia. The company is laying off around 400 employees, ending almost all activities in the country. This is according to reports from Bloomberg. Microsoft is only anxious to fulfill the previous contractual obligations.
We work closely with those affected to ensure they are treated with respect. They should also receive support in these difficult times. The company has not yet revealed what this looks like.
The company justifies the layoffs with Russia’s ongoing war against Ukraine. Due to numerous sanctions, one can no longer operate in the country. Accordingly, the business prospects have become worse and worse in recent weeks.
The layoffs are not Microsoft’s first step since the beginning of the war. Initially, the company stopped selling in the country. Numerous other tech companies acted similarly.
A vehicle crashed into a crowd near Breitscheidtplatz in Berlin-Charlottenburg. One person was killed and 14 people were injured, some of them life-threatening. A suspect was arrested.
