Microsoft to lay off 10,000 employees

Microsoft announced on Wednesday that it will lay off 10,000 employees, less than 5% of its workforce, and that it has begun notifying some of the layoffs today.

The executive president, Satya Nadella, also noted in a statement that the company is going through “significant changes.”

Last July, Microsoft notified a round of layoffs that affected 1% of its workforce, which had a total of around 180,000 employees, as a result of a “strategic readjustment” at the beginning of its new fiscal year.
