About
Microsoft announced on January 18, 2023, that it will lay off 10,000 employees, representing roughly 5% of its global workforce of about 221,000. The job cuts, set to begin immediately and continue through the third quarter of the fiscal year, are a response to macroeconomic challenges and shifting customer priorities. CEO Satya Nadella described the move as a difficult but necessary step to adapt to changing conditions and refocus the company's investments on strategic growth areas. This decision aligns with a broader slowdown in the tech industry, which saw significant layoffs across major firms in 2022.
