Microsoft to shutter Skype’s London HQ, lay off 400 employees

3.完整新聞內文:


The other shoe has dropped. Following Microsoft’s annual report in August,
which said it would lay off approximately 2,850 employees globally in the
fourth quarter of 2016, the company is closing Skype’s HQ in London as part
of the large-scale terminations.

The move means around 400 people will lose their jobs, and as Microsoft told
the Financial Times, it “made the decision to unify some engineering
positions, potentially putting at risk a number of globally focused Skype and
financial roles." The tech giant also said that it will use a consultation
process to help those who were laid off.

The decision comes at a time when the British tech industry is working to
show its resiliency following the country’s vote to leave the European
Union. Skype was originally founded in London in 2003, and Microsoft
purchased it in 2011 for $8.5 billion.

Russ Shaw, founder of industry group Tech London Advocates, and previously
the vice president of Skype Emea before Microsoft bought the company, told
the Financial Times that he was disappointed by news of the closure.

“Skype is one of Europe’s iconic technology businesses and a genuine ‘
unicorn’ with an amazing pedigree of innovation and talent,” he said. “
While London is working hard to build a strong base of world-class technology
businesses, this decision is a step in the wrong direction.”

The Financial Times also cited an unnamed source who identified as a former
Skype employee, as saying they were not surprised by the move, because Skype
executives have been leaving the company over the past few years.

“I know it’s natural to integrate, but Skype is a shell of the company it
once was,” the source said. “One of the things that was always a big issue
for Microsoft was that big decisions at Skype would usually always be made in
Europe, not in Redmond [Microsoft’s HQ]. Now, it’s a Redmond, Microsoft-led
company rather than an independent Skype.”

5.備註:
微軟不意外，Skype遲早要被微軟收攤。

微軟再一次把買來的好東西搞爛了，繼MSN之後，微軟又要從通訊軟體上離開了。
