Microsoft is set to lay off thousands of staff members following the conclusion of its fiscal year on June 30 (local time). This move will impact the sales, engineering, and Xbox divisions, and is expected to result in a marginal decrease in the company's overall workforce. It's worth noting that Microsoft has previously carried out several rounds of layoffs, while simultaneously ramping up investments in burgeoning fields such as artificial intelligence (AI), aligning with industry trends and strategic shifts.
