If I worked for MS Japan if would be worried right now...
Also it is good for companies to "cut the fat" with layoff every once in a while, sometime certain people are not great workers, but not bad ebough to fire without getting sued, layoff allows you to maintain your better workers (hopefully politics aside) then down the road your rehire that 17% hoping that you can improve the quality. You will still end up with some duds, but it allow for more fresh faces.
