Microsoft Corp. is firing 2,100 workers today, part of a plan announced in July to eliminate 18,000 jobs to streamline the workforce and integrate the acquisition of Nokia Oyj’s handset unit.
The job reductions will take place across the company in various divisions, said Peter Wootton, a spokesman for Microsoft. In the Puget Sound region, where Microsoft is based, 747 people are being cut.
