At Microsoft, we focus on high-performance talent. We are always working on helping people learn and grow. When people are not performing, we take the appropriate action.
Despite record earnings, Microsoft has made large-scale layoffs a pattern, trimming jobs in its security division, primarily targeting underperforming employees.
The layoffs represent less than 1 percent of Microsoft's 228,000 employees and are characterized as prunings rather than organizational changes.
There is speculation about a possible AI connection to the layoffs, with sources suggesting Microsoft may backfill the positions rather than reducing overall headcount.
