Microsoft Cuts 3% of Workforce Amidst Layoff Concerns
Despite reporting strong financial results and an optimistic outlook, Microsoft announced Tuesday that it will lay off 3% of its global workforce, impacting thousands of employees. This represents the company’s largest layoff since the 10,000 job cuts in 2023 and is distinct from previous performance-based reductions. The cuts are attributed to necessary organizational restructuring for navigating the competitive market. The company cited a need to “best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace.”
