Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said in an email to employees that in order to cut costs in the face of economic uncertainty and cope with future economic downturns, and refocus on strategic priorities such as artificial intelligence (AI), 10,000 employees will be laid off by March 31.
"It's a tough choice made in Microsoft's 47-year history, and it's ruthless to anyone who doesn't adapt to the platform shift in order to maintain its position as an important company in the industry." ”
This will be Microsoft's largest layoff in 8 years.
In addition, Amazon, an e-commerce giant that has earlier news of layoffs, officially confirmed today that it will launch a new round of layoffs, which is expected to affect 18,000 people, becoming the largest number of layoffs in the history of science and technology.
Twitter has said that there will be no more large-scale layoffs, but today there is also news that it will continue to lay off employees in the coming weeks...
In this regard, some netizens think it is reasonable: "This is a normal step for strategic development optimization." Some netizens said: "This is an inevitable trend of economic decline." However, more netizens expressed their unease about this situation: "Really scared, this is too difficult, can I still find a job next year?" ”
Indeed, according to statistics, last year's US technology "big factories" have laid off nearly 60,000 employees on the bright side, and this year's layoffs will not be the beginning of another 60,000 or even more unemployment? When will the economy improve? [Crying] [Crying]
