In the coming weeks, Microsoft plans to reduce its workforce across various sectors, stating that these reductions aim to eliminate underperforming employees as they move further into the New Year. This decision will impact Microsoft’s gaming, security, and sales departments.
According to reports from Business Insider and CNBC, confirmed by a Microsoft representative, there will be job cuts taking place in the near future at Microsoft.
As a Microsoft enthusiast, I can tell you that we place a strong emphasis on nurturing top-tier talent here. We’re constantly dedicated to fostering learning and personal development among our team members. In instances where performance isn’t meeting expectations, we ensure to address the situation in a suitable manner.
Following a significant round of layoffs in 2023, which resulted in job losses for game developers at Bethesda and 343 Industries, there have been more redundancies recently. However, contrary to appearances, Microsoft is financially stable and does not seem to be in dire need of cost-cutting measures. In fact, the company reported a revenue of $65.6 billion in Q1 2025, surpassing analyst predictions. Moreover, Microsoft disclosed that it allocated $9 billion for stock dividends and share buybacks in Q1 2025, and plans to invest around $80 billion into the development and application of artificial intelligence technology in 2025.
Despite being among the biggest global corporations, Microsoft seems to be far from experiencing a decline, which makes the prospect of layoffs seem unexpected. However, we’ll keep an eye on how these potential job cuts affect the company moving forward. Keep an eye on the Microsoft news for any upcoming developments.
