H1-B

When announcing its layoffs this year, the Redmond, Wash.-based company insisted that it was flattening its management layers, as opposed to targeting software engineers and developers at lower levels. However, the Seattle Times reported that only around 17 percent of those laid off at the Redmond campus were designated as managers. Microsoft’s cuts also come after one of its best quarters ever, with the company announcing $26 billion in profit from January through March.
