Microsoft streicht 5000 Arbeitsplätze - Einsparung von USD 1.55 Mrd jährlich sind durchschnittlich USD 310'000 pro Kopf
oder anders herum:
Microsoft schickt 5000 seiner treuesten Kunden in die Wüste - Provokation weiterer Verkaufseinbrüche um USD 1.55 Mrd jährlich bzw. USD 310'000 pro Kopf
oder aber
Microsoft's Chrissie Liddell und Stevie Ballmer - wie viele andere im Dienste kurz(frist)sichtig orientierter Manager - baut informelles Wissen und langjährige Erfahrung zu Gunsten seiner ureigensten Performance ab.
Microsoft-Chef Steve Ballmer schockiert die Mitarbeiter. "Endlich wieder einmal einer, welcher Nägel mit Köpfen macht!", so die Investoren.
Dass die Geschäftsentwicklung für die Zukunft von Liddell (andere Topshots mit eingeschlossen) als sehr schwarz eingestuft wird, ist unschwer zu erkennen.
Microsofts Nettogewinn sank gemäss Pressemitteilung 2008 gegenüber dem Vorjahr von USD 4.68 Mrd bloss um USD 690 Mio (11%) auf USD 4.17 Mrd.
Die Verminderung - wohlgemerkt, es handelt sich nicht etwa um einen Verlust - des Nettogewinnes von USD 690 Millionen wird durch die jährlichen Einsparungen von USD 1'550 Millionen der nächsten Jahre mehr als kompensiert. Microsoft's Steve Ballmer und Chris Liddell rechnen also für das Jahr 2009 mit einem weiteren Rückgang des Nettogewinnes um USD 860 Millionen. Dem MUSS selbstredend Paroli geboten werden, denn schliesslich wollen wir unsere Boni halten; die Kosten für das zur Commodity verkommene Humankapital wird einfach ein bisschen heruntergefahren.
Liddelliches Management wird ganz einfach über den Buckel der Angestellten korrigiert. Die Firma bleibt dieselbe; keine Verbessrung interner Abläufe, keine Restrukturierungsmassnahmen. Microsoft wird aus dieser Krise geschwächt herausgehen. Vergangenes humanitäres Gehabe wird übertüncht, das Klima innerhalb der Firma wird zunehmend kälter, Stress behindert die Kreativität der verbleibenden Mitarbeiter. Innovationen werden ausbleiben.
Es ist ein Zeichen der Zeit; vor dem Hintergrund all der sich überpurzelnden schlechten Nachrichten werden Personalentscheide solcher Grössenordnungen von den Mitarbeitenden oder Angestellten - lediglich verbrämende Synonyme für Arbeiter - ohne weiteres hingenommen.
Ganz so wie etwa bei der Kriminalität; aufbauschende Berichterstattung gestattet den Ausbau des Polizeistaates und des Repressionsapparates. (Videokameras landauf landab, Gesetzesveränderungen, Einschnitte in Bürgerrechte -> gläserner Bürger)
"Me-Too" des Chipherstellers INTEL - it's intel inside, its' workers outside
Intel will fünf Standorte in den USA und Asien schliessen. 5000 bis 6000 Arbeitsplätze sind betroffen. Auch Intel vergrault also 5000 bis 6000 Kunden mit deren potentiell zum Konsum oder Investion frei verfügbaren USD 1'800'000'000 JAEHRLICH.
Fazit
Entlassung von Mitarbeitern ist Transmissionsriemen zur weitere Abschwächung der Volkswirtschaften
Der Konsum wird mangels Perspektiven und kontinuierlichen Vertrauensverlusts in Wirtschaft und Politik drastisch eingeschränkt. Viel schlimmer ist aber, dass langjährig aufgebautes informelles Wissen (Streetwits) kaltschneuzig geopfert wird.

Microsoft sacks 5000 workers - Microsoft relieves the strain on its business results by USD 1.55 Billion per annum i.e. USD 310'000 per capita
reads the other way round:
Microsoft sends 5000 of its most loyal customers to Nirwana - Microsoft provokes further lower Sales Figures of roughly USD 1.55 Billion per annum i.e. USD 310'000 per capita
reads another way around
Microsoft's shortsighted egocentric bonushot Chrissie Liddell and Stevie Ballmer exchange by getting rid of a lot of continually built experience thus irrecoverable streetwits for a mere profane greedy compensation.
Microsoft's Topshot Steve Ballmer shocks employees to enhance goodwill of the Investors' Community by putting the money where their and his mouthes are.
It is evident that the future business development is considered to become even weaker in the years to follow.
Microsoft's net earnings according to press shrinked from USD 4.68 Billion by USD 690 Million (11%) to USD 4.17 Billion.
This diminuation - mind you it is NOT a loss - of the net earnings of USD 690 Million will be more than compensated by a yearly reduction of costs of USD 1'550 Million for the years to come. Microsoft's Steve Ballmer and Chris Liddell thus foresee for the year 2009 a further decrease of the net earnings of USD 860 Million. Of course this has to be fought off; at the end of the day it is our goal to keep bonus' levels. It is just as easy as that: Microsoft cuts its Labour Force Cost down by laying off some of its perverted to commodity human capital stock.
Liddell's mismanagement is easily to correct by hitting the sack rather than the goat. The firm Microsoft stays the same but for less streetwits. There will be no amelioration nor reorganisation. Microsoft will exit the crisis even more vulnerable than before. Past humanitarian behaviour's effects will be choked; the working clima will gradually become freezing, stress prevent remaining people from creativity. There will be NO innovation.
This proves the shift of paradigm: backed up by helter-skelter somewhat bloated bad and worsening news decisions such as the aforesaid taken are widely accepted by the humble workers.
It is just like the shift of paradigm caused by terrorism and criminality: people call for more safety thus accepting reinforcement of the repressive apparatus such as police and army. Law is altered, the country litterally littered with video cameras, e:mail crawlers as well as eavesdroppers; the see-through citizens become more and more infantile. They do not want to take responsability any more.
"Me-Too" behaviour of chip producer INTEL - it's intel inside, its workers outside
Intel intends closing down some five plants throughout the US and Asia. 5000 to 6000 working places are affected, they simply will get extinct. Thus Intel also sends 5000 to 6000 of its most loyal clients to Nirwana together with their purchase and savings power of USD 1'800'000'000 per year.
Conclusion
Laying off labour force is the transmission belt to further faltering economy
Consumption will be restricted due to lacking perspectives and gradually lessening of trust in economical and political leaders.
Even worse is the fact that longterm informal knowledge (streetwits) are cynically sacrificed for particular interest.
