Software giant says latest redundancies are a local adjustment related to business needs

Staff at Microsoft Ireland are facing their third round of redundancies in a year, with up to 70 more jobs going. Photograph: Niall Carson/PAMicrosoft Ireland has announced further jobs cuts, with up to 70 roles understood to be on the line as the company reorganises its business.

The company informed staff of the proposed cuts, which will be implemented across the business, earlier on Monday. It is understood the final number may be lower than 70 if staff can be redeployed to other areas of the business. The latest cuts at the global tech giant follow the 180 job losses at the Irish operation announced by the group across two rounds of cutbacks since January, when Microsoft chief executive Satya Nadella said the company would reduce its global workforce by 10,000, or 5 per cent.

The latest cuts are not linked to a new round of global cutbacks, and are instead part of what the company says is a local readjustment related to business needs.
