Microsoft is preparing for another mass layoff

 

 

Global tech company Microsoft is preparing for another mass layoff. The new move will lay off about four percent of the company's global workforce. This will result in the loss of about 9,000 jobs. This will be the company's largest mass layoff in the last two years.

A Microsoft spokesperson said in an email that the reduction in staff numbers is due to the need for structural change for the company to function better. It is indicated that Microsoft's plan is to cut mid-level employees. It is estimated that the new announcement will affect at least 9,000 employees. Microsoft said that these cuts will affect many teams around the world, especially the sales department.

Microsoft said in a statement that we are continuously implementing changes that are essential for success in a dynamic market. Microsoft has now announced its second mass layoff of 2025. But the actual number of employees the company has laid off has not yet been released. The company, which had about 228,000 employees worldwide as of June 2024, announced the layoffs in May, affecting about 6,000 workers.
