The company prepares a reduction in thousands of jobs in the field of sales as part of the reduction in costs against the background of large investments in artificial intelligence.
Microsoft Corporation is preparing for a new wave of abbreviations, which, according to insider, will affect thousands of employees – especially in the field of sales. According to Bloomberg, it is expected that the official announcement will be held in early July after completing the company’s financial person. At the same time, resources note that deadlines can still change, and not only the sellers will fall under the reduction.
This will be the second wave of dismissal in 2025. In May, the company has reduced about 7 thousand employees, mainly in the departments of products and engineering, while hardly affecting staff directing customers directly.
Back in April, Microsoft informed employees about the intent to move software for small and medium businesses to external contractors. It has become part of a broader approach for revising the costs and structures of the company.
Officially, Microsoft has refused to comment on future cuts, but repeatedly noted that the company continues to overdo its organization model to better invest in growth spheres. Under the pressure of investors and against the background of the cost of developing AI and the expansion of data centers, Microsoft is trying to reduce costs to other units.
Historically, Microsoft is conducting major organizational changes at the end of the financial person, which will end in June.
Reminding, earlier it was reported that the cost of 100 most expensive IT brands reached 3.2 trillion dollars.
