Microsoft has announced plans to lay off
0:01
roughly 4,800 employees. That's about
0:04
2.1% of its global [music] workforce,
0:06
Business Insider's Ashley Stewart
0:08
reported. The cuts mostly impact sales
0:10
[music] and Xbox gaming teams, with Xbox
0:12
accounting for 1,600 of the eliminated
0:15
[music] roles. The Xbox division also
0:17
plans to cut 20% of its workforce this
0:19
fiscal [music] year. In a memo to
0:21
employees on Monday, Microsoft HR chief
0:23
Amy Coleman said that the roles are not
0:25
being replaced by AI, but [music] she
0:27
did say that AI is changing how work
0:29
gets done. "Some daily tasks can now be
0:31
automated," she said, adding that we all
0:33
need to keep learning, keep building new
0:35
skills, and keep adapting [music] as the
0:37
work evolves. The cuts come after
0:39
Microsoft launched a voluntary
0:40
retirement program earlier [music] this
0:42
year, offering buyouts to some
0:44
employees. About 1/3 of the nearly 9,000
0:47
eligible employees took it, which
0:48
allowed for fewer layoffs. Still,
0:50
Microsoft is cutting costs as it spends
0:53
heavily on AI infrastructure, [music]
0:54
while facing growing investor concerns
0:56
that AI could upend traditional
0:58
software. Those worries helped send
1:00
Microsoft stock tumbling 19% in June,
1:03
its worst monthly performance since the
1:05
dot-com era. To read Ashley Stewart's
1:07
reporting on Microsoft and its shift
1:09
towards AI, head to Business Insider.
