Microsoft has announced significant layoffs affecting over 1,000 employees across various units as part of its strategic realignment efforts. This move comes after the tech giant’s earlier announcement of cutting 10,000 roles throughout 2023.
According to reports from The Information and CNBC, most of the job cuts are concentrated within Microsoft’s Strategic Missions and Technologies organization. This unit focuses on selling Microsoft’s cloud software and server rentals to businesses with specialized needs, including telecom firms and space companies.
The restructuring includes job cuts in Microsoft’s mixed reality unit, although the company has affirmed its commitment to supporting the HoloLens 2 augmented reality device. A Microsoft spokesperson clarified that these layoffs are a routine aspect of managing business operations and are necessary to align resources with strategic growth areas.
In a statement, the spokesperson mentioned, “We remain fully committed to the Department of Defense’s IVAS program and will continue to deliver cutting-edge technology to support our soldiers. In addition, we will continue to invest in W365 to reach the broader Mixed Reality hardware ecosystem. We will continue to sell HoloLens 2 while supporting existing HoloLens 2 customers and partners.”
This restructuring reflects Microsoft’s ongoing efforts to streamline its operations and focus on areas of strategic importance, as the company navigates evolving market dynamics and technological advancements.
