Microsoft announced a mass termination of employment affecting over 6,000 employees, approximately three percent of its global workforce, on Tuesday.

It’s unclear how much Microsoft hopes to save through the layoffs. When the company laid off 10,000 workers in 2023, analysts estimated that the move was poised to save Microsoft about $2.5 billion over the subsequent year. That figure included the $1.2 billion charge the company had logged in connection with the job cuts.

Microsoft is set to lay off approximately 6,000 employees, equating to 3% of its global workforce, as part of organizational changes aimed at positioning the company for success.
