Microsoft to Lay Off 9,000 Workers in Largest Job Cut Since 2023

Microsoft is set to lay off around 9,000 employees, marking its biggest round of job cuts since 2023. The move impacts less than 4% of the company’s global workforce and reflects a broader push to streamline operations and increase productivity amid a rapidly evolving tech landscape. The layoffs are expected to affect various teams, including Xbox and sales, though specific divisions have not been publicly confirmed.

The announcement comes as Microsoft continues investing heavily in AI, with CEO Satya Nadella recently noting that up to 30% of the company’s code is now AI-generated. The company said the cuts are part of a restructuring plan to reduce layers of management and make teams more agile, especially as AI tools continue to shift how tech companies operate.

Despite the workforce reductions, Microsoft remains financially strong. The company posted an 18% jump in quarterly profits earlier this year, driven by robust cloud and AI service growth. Microsoft shares were largely unchanged following the news, signaling investor confidence in the company’s long-term AI strategy despite short-term workforce turbulence.
