After firing 6,000 last month, Microsoft cuts hundreds more jobs
IT major Microsoft on Tuesday announced that an additional 300 people have been laid off following the recent round of job cuts, media reports said.
A Microsoft spokesperson told Bloomberg that the latest headcount reduction is in addition to the 6,000 job cuts announced last month.
“We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace,” the spokesperson said.
The IT industry is witnessing a major shift with several companies implementing AI in their systems.
The companies are focusing on AI-centric jobs in recent times.
According to reports, the company's previous layoff had hit the software engineers hardest.
However, it could not be ascertained which jobs were affected due to Monday's round of layoffs.
