This is the latest of several trimmings Microsoft has made to its workforce this year. The company announced in April that it was offering voluntary retirement to about 7% of its US workforce, which consisted of about 125,000 employees at the time. Its global workforce is made up of about 223,000 workers globally.

"Multiple tech companies have announced layoffs due to the rise of AI and increased investment in the technology this year. Meta, the parent company of Facebook and Instagram, announced plans in April to cut 10% of its personnel, or about 8,000 employees, to boost efficiency. Amazon has made several cuts to its workforce, most recently in its retail division. And in June, Oracle shed its workforce by nearly 13%, cutting 21,000 jobs, as a result of AI."

"But it’s unclear whether these workforce-reduction measures have translated yet into greater efficiency, and some companies, including Meta, have scaled back their layoff plans. A top leader of Microsoft, Ryan Roslansky, recently complained about “AI slop” in the workforce on social media."

"The National Bureau of Economic Research also recently published a working paper which found that among the 9,000 senior executives it surveyed from around the world, 90% said AI had yet to result in greater productivity at their companies.so recently published a working paper which found that among the 9,000 senior executives it surveyed from around the world, 90% said AI had yet to result in greater productivity at their companies."
