Microsoft is planning another round of job cuts next week, targeting thousands of roles across Xbox, sales, and consulting. The cuts are expected to affect less than 2.5% of Microsoft’s roughly 220,000-person workforce. Key details: → The layoffs come as the company continues to invest heavily in AI while trying to control costs in other areas → Xbox has been under pressure, with its new CEO reportedly pushing for a major overhaul of the division → Some affected employees are expected to be offered alternative roles within the company → This marks another round of reductions following previous cuts earlier in the year Microsoft has been restructuring as it shifts resources toward AI, even as some divisions face ongoing challenges. #Microsoft #Xbox #CEO #AI #Sales #Layoffs
