Last year, Microsoft also laid off 1,900 employees in several of its product lines such as Activision Blizzard and Xbox. However, Microsoft has not cut its workers in large numbers for a long time.
The last major cuts were carried out in 2023. At that time, Microsoft suspended more than 10,000 employees from HoloLens, Microsoft Edge, marketing teams, and much more.
