Fresh Round of Layoffs Hits Microsoft Workforce
Microsoft has announced another major round of job cuts, eliminating around 4,800 positions, or roughly 2.1% of its global workforce, as the company reshapes its business while continuing to invest heavily in artificial intelligence (AI).
The latest layoffs mainly affect employees in the commercial sales division and the Xbox gaming business. While the announcement has sparked concerns about the impact of AI on jobs, Microsoft says the decision is part of a broader effort to streamline operations and prepare the company for changing customer demands rather than replace workers with AI.
