I have a strange feeling, nothing tangible so far, but more like a gut feeling than sooner or later I'll see a pattern emerging here. I'll wait and see! ;P

I already said it before http://www.codeproject.com/Lounge.aspx?msg=4861549#xx4861549xx[^] And once again, IMHO it's bad strategy.

Maybe the new boss wants to try to shift some more jobs to India? He is from Bangalore right?
That's what I'm thinking as well

They currently have 130,000 employees. What exactly is the proper number based on your intimate knowledge of their business?

132,254.32 ...yes, I said it, they have to hire a little person....

Did you state your opinion when Mr. Nadella asked you? Oh wait he didn't?! I wonder why?

That's what all new CEO's do, then the employees that are left are so scared of getting cut that they consume all the work that the people that left did. They a short time later they out source to glean max. profits and they get rewarded with multi million dollar bonuses.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

I disagree. Microsoft management is extremely bloated. There is a plethora of dead products and wasted efforts. There are plenty of employees who do little. The recruitment office, for example, was noticeably overstaffed. They have satellite offices which have no discernible function. Even engineering teams are bloated. In addition to all of that, due to several recent purchases, including Nokia, there is a duplication of positions. I don't think they're going far enough. (The problems with various products Microsoft has had isn't lack of people, but too many people. Microsoft engineering tends to make the simplest designs more complicated. A "Hello World" written by Microsoft will somehow involve COM, LINQ and use several hundred lines of code.)
