About

Microsoft has laid off over 1,000 employees in the past week, primarily within its sales and customer service teams, including the dissolution of its "Digital Sales and Success" group. These cuts exceed the 10,000 job reductions announced earlier in 2023 and are part of a strategic shift to accelerate product consumption rather than traditional customer support. The layoffs, which also affected engineering and marketing roles, coincide with the start of Microsoft's new fiscal year in July and have been implemented with limited communication from leadership, leaving many managers and employees uncertain about the rationale.
