News India Live, Digital Desk: Microsoft in a tizzy: Microsoft is once again preparing to cut jobs. This will affect about 3 percent of his global workforce. This means that more than 6,000 employees in various roles and areas can be fired. This is the company’s largest pruning since 10,000 job cuts in 2023.
This step has been taken at a time when strong -performing technology companies are also cutting jobs – last week Cyber Security Company Crowdastrik said that it would pruning 5 percent of its employees, showing how the number of employees in the entire industry is becoming common.
However, Microsoft has not shared any information about which roles or departments have affected it. Tech veteran said the trimming is part of its long -term plan to make it flexible and focus on areas such as AI, cloud computing and changing demands of customers.
Microsoft is still in a strong financial position and has reported a net income of $ 25.8 billion for the quarter ended in April and overtaken the expectations of analysts. It also shared a positive attitude for the near future. However, the company says that the purpose of restructuring is to cut management layers and improve efficiency – as recently by Amazon when it cut the jobs in its operation, pointing to “unnecessary layers”.
The trimming conforms to the changes made by Microsoft in the way they handle the performance of employees. According to documents reviewed by Business Insider, the company has implemented a two -year recruitment ban for employees withdrawn due to performance issues.
Microsoft has also introduced a new “good atrition” metric to track poor performing employees and encourage them to exit. The approach is similar to Amazon’s controversial “unwell atrition” model and reflects the focus of Microsoft on strict performance management.
