Microsoft So far, has released over 15,000 people in 2025. The stress of the belt was brought to CEO Satya Nadella.
“Before something else, I would like to talk about what has a lot of burdens about and what I know that many of them are thinking: the recent job excretions,” Nadella wrote to the employees on Thursday in a memo.
After the recent work reduction in Microsoft, investors exceeded the closing price of the share over $ 500 for the first time on July 9. The company announced the layoffs of around 9,000 people per week. Microsoft employed 228,000 people in June 2024. It has not delivered a new number that takes into account its layoffs this year, but Nadella wrote that the employees are basically flat.
“This is the riddle of success in an industry that has no franchise value,” he wrote. “Progress is not linear. It is dynamic, sometimes dissonant and always demanding. But it is also a new chance for us to form, carry out and have a greater influence than ever.”
The cuts at Microsoft reflect a general trend in the Tech industry, with over 80,000 positions, according to a number, have so far been eliminated in 2025. At the beginning of this month, Recruit Holdings announced that it would relieve 1,300 people from the Human Resources Technology segment, which indeed includes the websites and the Glassdoor. The company's CEO pointed out artificial intelligence in a memo, Bloomberg reported.
In the past few months on social media, some Microsoft employees have disappointed in view of their stature about the cuts of the company.
“I loved to work for this company, but this loyalty has caused so much damage because it has been shown that the confidential values of Microsoft do not apply to business decisions at macro level”, a person who is listed as a Microsoft directing on LinkedIn who was published last week.
Microsoft is then the most valuable public company in the world Nvidiawhose chips have become a critical piece of the AI scam. The Windows and Office franchise from Microsoft are still dominant, and its Azure Cloud services have grown faster in recent years because Openaai and other companies rent Nvidia graphics cards to run AI models.
In the memo, Nadella has touched Microsoft's mission in the past 10 years to strengthen every person and organization on the planet to achieve more and how to rise AI.
“We have to reinterpret our mission for a new era,” he wrote. “What does empowerment look like in the era of AI? It's not just about creating tools for certain roles or tasks. It is about creating tools that enable everyone to create their own tools. This is the shift we drive – from a software factory to an intelligence engine that enables everyone and every organization to build everything they have to achieve.”
Microsoft reports the results of the fourth quarter on Wednesday.
