The American giant of Microsoft technology announced Tuesday its intention to remove 6,000 jobs, especially in the management of the company.
The cuts, which will also receive the LinkedIn platform, will have to concern less than 3% of Microsoft’s workforce, which has nearly 228,000 people.
“We continue to implement the organizational changes necessary to best position the company in order to succeed in a dynamic market,” the technological group said in a press release.
Microsoft, which went from a workforce of 163,000 in 2020 to 228,000 in 2024, had already dismissed some 10,000 employees in 2023.
The company has been going through a period of notable financial pressures in recent years, marked by substantial expenses for data centers that feed artificial intelligence (AI).
In this regard, Microsoft provides investments of approximately $ 80 billion to build data centers necessary for the deployment of generative AI models and applications.
