Microsoft to let another 60 employees in Ireland go.

Microsoft le 60 fostaí eile in Éirinn a ligean chun siúil.

Technology giant Microsoft is to let another 60 employees go in Ireland.

Tá an ollchomhlacht teicneolaíochta Microsoft le 60 fostaí eile in Éirinn a ligean chun siúil.

The company announced at the beginning of last month that 120 people in this country were to be allowed to walk, but today it was declared that 180 would be involved.

D'fhógair an comhlacht i dtús na míosa seo caite go rabhthas le 120 duine sa tír seo a ligean chun siúil ach dearbhaíodh inniu gur 180 a bheas i gceist.

Microsoft employs over 3,500 people in Ireland - based in the company's operations, sales, engineering and product development departments.

Tá barr ar 3,500 duine fostaithe ag Microsoft in Éirinn – a mbunáite i rannóga oibríochtaí, díolachán, innealtóireachta agus forbartha táirgí an chomhlachta.

At the beginning of the year, Microsoft indicated that the company intended to let 10,000 employees walk in different centers around the world by the end of this year.

I dtús na bliana, thug Microsoft le fios go raibh rún ag an gcomhlacht 10,000 fostaí a ligean chun siúil in ionaid éagsúla ar fud an domhain faoi dheireadh na bliana seo.

At the time, the company's chief executive Satya Nadella claimed that "as customers wanted to spend more time in the digital world, they also wanted to spend less money on it".

Ag an am, mhaígh príomhfheidhmeannach an chomhlachta Satya Nadella "tar éis go raibh custaiméirí ag iarraidh níos mó ama a chaitheamh sa saol digiteach, go raibh siad ag iarraidh ag an am céanna níos lú airgid a chaitheamh air".

The tech sector in the United States is in recession and the biggest companies have been letting go for months - such as Twitter, Meta, Stripe, Amazon, Intel, Google, Salesforce, PayPal, HubSpot and Dell, as well as Microsoft .

Tá an earnáil teicneolaíochta sna Stáit Aontaithe ag cúlú agus tá oibrithe á ligean chun siúil ag na comhlachtaí is mó le roinnt míonna – leithéidí Twitter, Meta, Stripe, Amazon, Intel, Google, Salesforce, PayPal, HubSpot agus Dell, chomh maith le Microsoft.

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.
