Microsoft to let 10,000 employees walk by 2023.
Microsoft le 10,000 fostaí a ligean chun siúil faoi earr 2023.
The computer giant Microsoft plans to let 10,000 employees walk in different locations around the world by the end of this year.
Tá sé beartaithe ag an ollchomhlacht ríomhaireachta Microsoft 10,000 fostaí a ligean chun siúil in ionaid éagsúla ar fud an domhain faoi dheireadh na bliana seo.
It is included in almost 5% of all employees of the company.
Áirítear gurb in beagnach 5 faoin gcéad d’fhostaithe uile an chomhlachta.
It appears that workers in the human resources and engineering departments will be among them.
Dealraítear go mbeidh oibrithe sna rannóga acmhainní daonna agus innealtóireachta ina measc.
Microsoft employs over 3,500 people in Ireland – between operations, sales, engineering and product development – but it is not yet known if any of them will suffer.
Tá barr ar 3,500 duine fostaithe ag Microsoft in Éirinn – idir na rannga oibríochtaí, díolachán, innealtóireachta agus forbartha táirgí – ach ní fios fós an mbeidh aon duine acu thíos leis.
The tech sector in the United States is in recession and the largest companies have been laying off workers for several months.
Tá an earnáil teicneolaíochta sna Stáit Aontaithe ag cúlú agus tá oibrithe á ligean chun siúil ag na comhlachtaí is mó le roinnt míonna.
Amazon indicated at the beginning of this month that 18,000 workers in the company would lose their jobs due to redundancy and last November Meta announced that 11,000 workers would be let go, including 390 people in Ireland.
Thug Amazon le fios i dtús na míosa seo go gcaillfeadh 18,000 oibrí sa chomhlacht a gcuid post de bharr iomarcaíochta agus i mí na Samhna seo caite d’fhógair Meta go ligfí 11,000 oibirí chun siúil, 390 duine in Éirinn ina measc.
The story relates to the overgrowth that is said to have occurred over several years in the international technology sector.
Baineann an scéal leis an rófhás a deirtear a tháinig le roinnt blianta ar an earnáil teicneolaíochta idirnáisiúnta.
Tánaiste Micheál Martin said that the Government was “keeping a close eye on the technology sector” in this country but he believes that employment in that sector is “very strong” at the moment.
Dúirt an Tánaiste Micheál Martin go raibh an Rialtas “ag coinneáil súil ghéar ar an earnáil teicneolaíochta” sa tír seo ach dar leis go bhfuil cúrsaí fostaíochta san earnáil sin “an-láidir” faoi láthair.
