Microsoft Announces New Wave of 2025 Layoffs Amid Performance Concerns
Microsoft is gearing up for another round of layoffs in 2025, focusing on underperforming employees across several departments, including their Security division. This move is a part of Microsoft's strategic effort to optimize their workforce while maintaining a global headcount of over 228,000 by hiring new talent. The tech giant's decision follows prior reductions of 10,000 roles in 2023 and 3,000 in the gaming sector in 2024, signaling a significant shift in their employee management approach.
