Microsoft is letting go of about 9,000 employees—its third wave of layoffs in just a few months. While this only makes up less than 4% of its entire workforce, it's still the company's biggest round of cuts since it laid off 10,000 workers in 2023. This move reflects a larger trend across the tech industry, where companies are tightening up amid changing business needs. In a statement, Microsoft said these job cuts are part of a bigger effort to reshape how the company works. They're trimming down management layers and aiming to make teams faster and more efficient. The goal, they say, is to stay competitive in a fast-moving market. One major shift? Artificial intelligence. Like many other tech giants, Microsoft is leaning heavily into AI to boost productivity. CEO Satya Nadella recently shared that AI now writes up to 30% of the company’s code. Microsoft is also investing billions into building up its AI tools and infrastructure—another sign that the future of work at Microsoft is being reshaped by technology.
