Employment concerns continue. Microsoft is planning to lay off employees again next month. It is feared that more than 1000 employees may lose their jobs.
Since the beginning of 2025, several companies around the world have been seen laying off employees continuously. As a result, this year has not been very positive for the workforce so far. Instead, employment concerns have become increasingly serious.
Already, several thousand employees have lost their jobs in some of the world's leading companies in the first five months. These include Google, Amazon, Nissan Motor and several other well-known companies. There is no sign of this trend of layoffs stopping soon.
It is feared that the number of layoffs will increase further in the future. Recently, it has been reported that another popular company is planning to lay off employees.
According to a news agency, Microsoft is planning to lay off more than 1,000 employees in July 2025. However, this is not the first layoff the company has taken this year.
The company has already moved forward with two layoffs in 2025. The July layoffs are the third large layoffs the company has made this year. The company's decision has clearly left a large portion of its employees worried.
Experts believe that the layoffs are part of a larger plan by the company. The company is likely to lay off these employees as part of a larger strategy to restructure costs amid increasing investment in artificial intelligence.
Which departments of the company are going to lose their jobs as a result of these layoffs?
The company's previous layoffs have primarily affected software engineers and product team employees. However, the company's upcoming layoffs are expected to affect its sales and marketing department the most.
This department is expected to see the most layoffs. Microsoft employs around 45,000 people in sales roles. Many of these employees could lose their jobs.
The company has already laid off 6,000 employees in May this year and another 300 shortly after. However, it is not yet clear how many employees will be laid off in the upcoming layoffs. Microsoft has not commented on the matter.
