Microsoft Layoffs

About

Microsoft is planning a round of job cuts focused on underperforming employees, with reductions occurring across the company, including its key security division. While the exact number of layoffs was not disclosed, the company had approximately 228,000 full-time employees as of late June. These performance-based cuts, reported in early January 2025, are part of a broader effort to prioritize high-performance talent, similar to moves by competitors. Microsoft often backfills these roles, so the overall headcount may not see a significant change. The technology giant, a leader in the software and cloud computing industry, is intensifying its performance management, with managers recently evaluating employees up to senior levels.
