Microsoft announced plans to lay off up to 3,000 employees, mostly in its sales department. The move is part of a larger reorganization effort that will shift focus to sales of Azure, its cloud-services product.微軟聲稱計劃裁員近3000人，且裁員主要集中在銷售部門。這一舉動是其大規模重組行動的一部分，微軟將把工作重點轉移到銷售其雲服務產品（Azure）上。Rather than a cost-cutting measure, a Microsoft representative told CNBC that its plan is to reevaluate how Microsoft handles sales and use employees who are more knowledgeable about specific verticals to sell them in order to encourage sales of larger packages. Roughly 75% of the layoffs are expected to happen outside the United States. Microsoft currently employs over 121,000 people worldwide.微軟的一名代表告訴美國全國廣播公司財經頻道，這並非一種成本削減措施，微軟計劃重新評估其管理銷售的方式，並讓那些更了解某一特定垂直領域產品的員工來銷售這類產品，以促進對大型套裝軟體的銷售。預計微軟約75%的裁員將來自美國以外的地區。目前微軟在全球有121,000多位員工。 聲明：本雙語文章的中文翻譯系滬江英語原創內容，轉載請註明出處。中文翻譯僅代表譯者個人觀點，僅供參考。如有不妥之處，歡迎指正。
