Based on the latest updates, it appears that Microsoft is planning another round of job reductions, and this time, the Xbox Gaming Division may experience significant staff reduction. The reports indicate that these impending layoffs are part of a broader company restructuring effort, with a focus on sales departments. However, this reorganization is expected to result in a substantial number of positions being eliminated across the organization.
According to reports from Bloomberg, citing insider sources, Microsoft is rumored to be planning mass layoffs, potentially impacting thousands of positions, primarily in sales roles. It’s also been suggested that the Xbox Gaming Division could be affected as well.
If the reported layoffs indeed occur, it would mark Microsoft’s fourth significant round of job cuts within a year and a half. One such reduction took place earlier this year, impacting roughly 3% of its workforce, or approximately 6,000 to 7,000 employees. This potential new wave of layoffs follows close on the heels of Microsoft disclosing it had allocated around $9.7 billion USD for stock buybacks and dividends to shareholders in Q3 FY25.
Attention is shifting towards Microsoft next week, as there are rumors of potential layoffs. We’ll keep a close eye on developments and the departments involved, so make sure to check back regularly on the Microsoft section at Shacknews for the latest news.
