A new wave of layoffs is hitting Microsoft. The company announced plans to let go of some workers worldwide to "best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace."
Microsoft has laid off a number of employees this week, which also happens to be the first week of its new 2025 fiscal year. There's no word from the company how many people were affected.
The new round of layoffs reportedly affected employees at Microsoft's customer service, support, and sales divisions. There's no word on how many team members were affected this time.
The report claims Microsoft sent out the news about no raises this year for full time employees in a company email today. Performance bonuses for top executives will be lower than last year.
The latest job cuts are still among the 10,000 employees that Microsoft said it would lay off a few months ago. The company said it would finalize those job cuts by the end of Q1 2023.
The new wave of layoffs at Microsoft this week reportedly hit the Xbox division, along with the Mixed Reality, HoloLens, and Surface teams as part of the previously announced terminations.
