Microsoft announced in a securities filing on Wednesday that it plans to lay off 10,000 workers as part of a massive cost-cutting initiative, the latest major company to reduce its workforce due to Biden’s failed policies that led to the financial disaster.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella announced in a memo to employees that the company will begin laying off “less than 5 percent of our total workforce” by the end of the company’s fiscal third quarter, which ends in March.
“Today, we are making changes that will reduce our overall workforce by 10,000 jobs by the end of FY23 Q3,” Nadella said.
“This represents less than 5 percent of our total employee base, with some notifications taking place today. It is important to note that while we are eliminating roles in some areas, we will continue to hire in key strategic areas. We know this is a challenging time for everyone affected. As we move through the process, we are committed to doing so in as thoughtful and transparent a manner as possible,” he continued.

“I want to extend my deepest thanks and gratitude to everyone who has contributed to Microsoft up to this point, and to all of you who will continue to contribute as we chart our path. Thank you for the focus, dedication and resilience you demonstrate every day for Microsoft and our customers and partners,” he concluded.
