Microsoft Fires 6000 Employees Globally
The layoffs span all levels, teams, and regions, including 1,985 roles tied to its Redmond, Washington, headquarters
Microsoft announced on Tuesday that it will cut around 6,000 jobs — approximately 3% of its global workforce — as part of a broader organisational restructuring.
The layoffs span all levels, teams, and regions, including 1,985 roles tied to its Redmond, Washington, headquarters.
This marks the company's largest round of layoffs since it slashed 10,000 roles in 2023. Unlike earlier performance-related reductions, the current layoffs are part of a strategic shift and not tied to individual performance.
Despite the cuts, Microsoft recently posted strong quarterly earnings with $25.8 billion in net income.
