Microsoft is planning to cut some more employees. Both office workers and those who work remotely will be out of work

In January 2023, Microsoft announced the layoff of 10,000 employees.

The main purpose of such a large-scale staff reduction was to optimise the company's costs. But experts cite another reason - an excessive number of employees recruited during the pandemic period when digital technologies were in maximum demand.

Unfortunately, the company announced another wave of layoffs.

Here's What We Know

According to Tom Warren, editor-in-chief of The Verge, this time the layoffs will affect a much smaller number of people. 276 people from sales and technical support departments will lose their jobs.

Both office workers and those who work remotely will be cut.

Microsoft has started another round of layoffs today. I'm still working to confirm the amount of people affected. Sales teams seem to be the most impacted so far, along with employees in support roles, education, and Microsoft's Modern Work teams
