Microsoft is cutting 148 total U.S. sales jobs, as part of efforts to be more efficient, the company said Thursday.
Microsoft spokesman Lou Gellos said the software company is eliminating 214 sales jobs but adding another 66 in the reorganization. Employees whose jobs are being eliminated will have the option to apply for the new positions, Gellos said.
The Redmond-based company said the job cuts and new positions are aimed at helping the company be more responsive to customers.
