After Microsoft's sales and profits beat expectations on Wall Street for the first quarter, Microsoft now says that it is laying off nearly 3% of its entire workforce, or about 6,000 people.
Microsoft says the layoffs will be across all levels and geographies, but will focus on reducing the number of managers.
ย
The layoffs are expected to hit across all parts of Microsoft's business, including the career networking site LinkedIn and the video game platform Xbox.
ย
The last big round of layoffs occurred in 2023, with about 5% of the workforce cut as tech companies scaled back(์ถ์ํ๋ค) from their pandemic-era expansions.
