Microsoft has announced an additional layoff of over 300 employees in early June 2025. This move follows a significant workforce reduction of about 6,000 employees in May. The layoffs are part of Microsoft’s ongoing restructuring strategy aimed at reallocating resources towards its growing artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives and cloud services.
The impacted roles include software engineers, marketers, product managers, and research scientists. Microsoft emphasizes that this decision was necessary to align its business priorities with emerging technologies and market demands.
Affected employees have been offered severance packages and career support services. Microsoft continues to invest heavily in AI and cloud infrastructure despite these workforce adjustments.
