REDMOND, Calif., July 15 (UPI) -- Microsoft is planning its largest round of layoffs this week, as CEO Satya Nadella looks to incorporate Nokia's handset division by removing overlapping jobs.
Nadella had said in an interview last week that structural changes were expected at the company and that the marketing and engineering departments could be where there will be redundancy after Nokia's handset unit is integrated. The company added nearly 25,000 employees when it took over Nokia's handset business for $7.2 billion.
