Microsoft is preparing for another round of layoffs, with the company laying off more than 6,000 employees as it continues “to implement organizational changes.”

Microsoft has engaged in multiple rounds of layoffs post-pandemic, with the company cutting 10,000 jobs in early 2023 in a single round. The company has also laid off employees in its gaming division, as well as its mixed reality and Azure businesses.

According to CNBC, Microsoft is now laying off roughly 3% of its workforce, which translates to more than 6,000 employees.

“We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace,” a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement to the outlet.

Microsoft Discusses Layoff “Ripple Effects” the Same Day It Announces Layoffs

In an interesting and ironic turn of events, Microsoft released the results of its Tech Industry Cohort, which was launched last month.

At the top of the list of issues companies face is a bullet point entitled: “Facing the Pressures Head-On.”

The ripple effects of layoffs continue to test employee trust and morale, leaving organizations striving to rebuild confidence. Geopolitical tensions and trade issues compound this uncertainty, forcing leaders to adapt while navigating rising costs.

There is no indication whether Microsoft’s reveal of the Tech Industry Cohort data was intentionally synced with the announcement of its own layoffs, but the timing is certainly interesting.
