1min readMicrosoft has unveiled plans to trim approximately 6,000 positions globally, targeting around 3% of its workforce to streamline management layers.
Despite exceeding revenue expectations, these layoffs, which impact roles at LinkedIn among others, are driven by the need to adapt to market dynamics and strategic focuses like AI and cloud computing. Following a previous cut of 10,000 jobs, the new layoffs reflect a broader industry trend, with giants like Amazon and Meta also restructuring amid fierce AI competition. As Microsoft invests heavily in AI infrastructure, aiming to save costs through automation, its shares have dipped slightly, signaling market sensitivity to these adjustments.
