Microsoft laying off about 9,000 employees in latest round of cuts
- Microsoft confirmed on Wednesday it will lay off about 9,000 employees across multiple divisions worldwide, including its Xbox business.
- This second mass layoff in months follows earlier cuts of about 6,000 workers in May and 300 in June, part of ongoing organizational changes.
- Microsoft aims to reduce management layers, increase agility, and focus on strategic growth areas like artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
- The company employs roughly 228,000 full-time workers, so the cuts will affect less than 4% of the workforce and follow Phil Spencer's memo emphasizing prioritizing strongest opportunities.
- These layoffs reflect adjustments to a dynamic marketplace and ongoing efforts to position Microsoft and its teams for long-term success amid industry-wide downsizing.
