Microsoft cuts 62 testing jobs

Microsoft said on Thursday that it has cut 62 testers from its Windows core operating-system unit. The job cuts come as Microsoft is moving some work from manual to automated testing.

Workers were notified of the cuts last week and were given the option of looking for other jobs at Microsoft, according to a representative. Last September, Microsoft cut some tester positions in its Windows Server unit.

Hang on a second

You mean to tell me that MS has testers on staff? Who knew?

I am surprised that they don't lay em all off. MS has never let crappy code stop them from selling it.

Stole the words from my mouth

I laughed out loud when I read this article and then agian
when I read this post. You'd think they wouldn't announce
it!

that was MS's last 62 testers.

Seriously...

So long as windowsupdate.microsoft.com exists, then so should the need for Mircosoft testers.

This is funny, made my day!
