Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) has laid off hundreds more, only weeks after announcing its largest layoff in years, Bloomberg News reported.
More than 300 staff were informed that their positions had been eliminated on Monday, as per a Washington state notice reviewed by the news agency.
Microsoft did not immediately respond to a request for a comment from Seeking Alpha.
A Microsoft spokesperson told the media outlet that the latest job cuts were in addition to the 6,000 headcount reduction announced last month. “We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace,” the spokesperson said.
It was not known what kind of roles were impacted on Monday.
Last month, it was reported that Microsoft plans to reduce its global workforce by 3%.
Layoffs in the tech sector have scaled back so far in 2025, for the second year in a row, with Intel (INTC) and Microsoft reporting the largest workforce reductions. Nearly halfway into 2025, 137 tech companies have laid off a total of 62,114 employees, according to the tracker Layoffs.fyi.
