“Microsoft” puts 6000 employees with the continued organizational changes

Microsoft has announced that it will lay off about 3% of its employees at all levels, teams and geographical areas, which affects about 6000 people, according to the “The Virg” platform.

“We continue to implement the necessary organizational changes to put the company in the best situation to achieve success in a dynamic market,” said a company spokesman.

Despite this step, the company had announced in late April better financial results than expectations, achieving a net quarterly income of $ 25.8 billion, while providing optimistic expectations for future growth.

The size of the workforce in Microsoft

The number of Microsoft employees globally reached about 228,000 employees at the end of last June. According to Washington State data, the company will reduce 1985 jobs associated with its headquarters in Redmond, including 1510 jobs in its local offices.

The largest demobilization tour since 2023

This is expected to be the largest layoff in Microsoft since it reduced 10,000 jobs in 2023. The company had conducted a limited demobilization round last January for performance reasons, but the official spokesman explained that the current hairdos have nothing to do with job performance.

Microsoft officials indicated that one of the goals of this step is to reduce the levels of management, which is similar to what “Amazon”, which got rid of “unnecessary layers” in its organizational structure earlier this year.

Similar orientation in the technology sector

Last week, the Cyber ​​Security Program provider “Craoud Strike” announced the demobilization of 5% of his working power, which reflects a broader trend among major technology companies towards controlling their operational structures.

Suggestive sales are one of the possible reasons

In January, the CEO of Microsoft, Satia Nadella, stated that the company will make changes in the implementation of sales operations after a slower growth than expected in the revenue of the “Azur” services unrelated to artificial intelligence.

In contrast, the performance of the artificial intelligence cloud has exceeded internal expectations, enhancing the company’s focus on redirecting growth strategies towards modern technology sectors.

Re -evaluation of product stimulation strategies

During a session with analysts and journalists, Nadila stressed the necessity of adjusting the incentives for offering products, saying: “In light of the transformations of platforms, it is better to benefit from the new design successes instead of adhering to the traditional approach of the previous generation.”

The height of shares does not prevent restructuring

Despite these hairdos, Microsoft’s shares rose and closed their trading on Monday at $ 449.26, its highest price so far this year, after it recorded a record level of $ 467.56 last July.

Analysts believe that companies, despite the strength of their human workers, sometimes seek to reduce their working power to achieve financial savings and increase efficiency, especially in light of the structural changes taking place in the American labor market.
