Microsoft, which employs some 3,500 people in Ireland, is reported to be preparing to cut thousands of jobs worldwide.

The computing giant will cut about 5 per cent of its workforce worldwide, reports indicated, with some roles expected to be eliminated in human resources and engineering divisions. The reported cuts would equate to about 175 jobs in Ireland.

Are you one of those workers who could be affected by such job cuts? How concerned are you about possible redundancies? Given the wider downturn in the tech sector, are you optimistic about job prospects elsewhere?
