"In its latest quarter, Microsoft had $50 billion in sales that produced $17.6 billion in profit."That works out to a profit rate of 35.2% on sales. (And the stock price is DOWN about 1% as I write this at 12:28 PM.)That is not high enough? So they need to fire 10,000 people to push the profitability to what, 40%?
