Microsoft Plans Job Cuts; To Layoff 1% Of Underperforming Employees

Microsoft is reportedly planning another round of layoffs, targeting one per cent of its underperforming employees across various departments. The company is said to be refining its performance management strategy. A Microsoft spokesperson confirmed the layoffs, explaining that the company takes necessary action when employees are not meeting expectations. This isn’t the first time Microsoft has faced layoffs in recent years. Last year, nearly 2,000 employees were let go from its gaming division, and another 1,000 jobs were impacted later. In 2023, Microsoft cut around 10,000 jobs across multiple divisions, representing about 5 per cent of its total workforce.
