Microsoft Announces More Job Cuts, About 9,000 Roles Affected

Microsoft is laying off more employees.

The tech giant began notifying staff of the latest cuts on Wednesday (July 2). While Microsoft declined to specify the exact number, the company said the layoffs will impact less than 4% of its workforce from a year ago, which would be around 9,000 jobs.

Microsoft said the cuts will affect multiple teams globally, including its Xbox and sales divisions.

In May, around 6,000 Microsoft workers were laid off as the company ramped up spending on artificial intelligence. That was followed by additional job cuts in June, including 300 employees at its Redmond, Washington headquarters and nearly 2,000 more in the Puget Sound area.
