Microsoft is cutting a small percentage of its staff, the latest in a string of layoffs by high-profile tech companies.
The software maker said it is cutting a number of positions, affecting less than 1% of its total workforce. Microsoft, which employed about 181,000 people as of June 2021, is making the cuts as a part of a regular adjustment at the start of its fiscal year, a spokesman said. The company’s overall workforce will still rise in the coming year, he said. Bloomberg earlier reported the cuts.
