Microsoft Corp. is eliminating 800 jobs worldwide, including several dozen in Massachusetts, as part of a larger effort to cut costs and increase efficiency, a spokesman said yesterday.The software giant has nearly 1,000 employees in the state and expects to cut less than 4 percent of the local workforce, or fewer than 40 jobs.
The cuts are in addition to 5,000 positions that in January Microsoft said it would eliminate.
The company originally expected to complete that downsizing by June 2010, but a spokesman said yesterday that those jobs were already mostly gone. Once the cuts are complete, the company will have a global workforce of about 88,000. (www.boston.com)
