Microsoft is reducing employment in subsequent departments. Phil Spencer sends messages to Xbox employees

Bloomberg editors report that another wave of layoffs at the American corporation has begun. This time, especially many people are to say goodbye to their jobs in the departments responsible for HoloLens (AR headsets) and Surface. Layoffs in the laptop/tablet sector are probably the result of a very clearly weakening demand for personal computers. Similar problems have also been reported in recent weeks by Dell, which announced a large reduction of jobs due to falling PC sales.

Bloomberg also reports that there were major redundancies in the marketing departments and in the Xbox Gaming Ecosystem Phil Spencer was supposed to send out emails to employees last week telling them exactly what was going on. In the news, according to Bloomberg, there was a request from Phil Spencer, that employees help each other during this difficult time and a declaration that Microsoft will provide people made redundant with the easiest possible transition to a new job in other companies.

Already in January there were disturbing information about large layoffs in Microsoft development studios. The company said goodbye to some of the people employed at Bethesda Game Studios and dozens of employees responsible for, among others, for Halo Infinite. Work on the shooter, which met with a lot of criticism, is still in progress. In recent days, 343 Industries has introduced a new playlist with maps created by the fans themselves.
