Microsoft lays off hundreds of employees in Russia

Microsoft, which decided to stop its product sales in Russia and reduce its operations due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, is now due to the economic conditions and uncertainty in the country. It turned out that he was going to lay off 400 employees.

It accounts for less than 1 percent of the revenue

As it is known, Russia faced harsh sanctions from giant technology companies after the Ukraine decision. While it remains unknown how many people work in the Russian headquarters of one of these companies, Microsoft, we can say that the new decision came just after IBM announced that it had laid off its entire Russia-based workforce.

However, in its third quarter statements, Microsoft, which said that Russia accounts for less than 1 percent of total company revenue, told Bloomberg, “To make sure that affected employees are treated with respect and have our full support at this difficult time. We work closely,” he said.

New decision Microsoft, which has greatly reduced its operations in the country, stated that they will continue their decision to stop product sales and continue to fulfill their existing contractual obligations with Russian customers.
