Microsoft is expected to announce a new round of layoffs next week, with several thousand jobs at stake, according to Business Insider. Among others, the company’s sales, consulting, and Xbox divisions will be affected.
The cuts are reported to affect less than 2.5% of Microsoft’s approximately 220,000 employees worldwide, meaning the layoffs will be less extensive than last year’s workforce reductions.
In 2025, Microsoft laid off approximately 15,000 employees in two rounds: 6,000 workers in May, followed by another 9,000 in July.
