news 28 Posted January 23, 2009 UPDATE: Microsoft Laying off 5,000 Employees ( -at -) [OC]ModShop UPDATE: 1/21/2009: We have learned that the problem is much worse than we originally thought. Microsoft employees confirmed that they are laying off 5,000 employees within the next months, and 1,500 are being notified today. The hardest hit is the Windows Mobile division, which is practically being gutted. The Windows Mobile division isn't going away, because Microsoft plans to re-populate the staff with new hires or contractors.
