Microsoft says it cuts thousands of jobs on its second tour of the demobilization of collective workers in recent months.

Although the company did not specify the exact number of people who will lose their jobs, it says it was less than four percent of the total workforce, which will be about 9,000 people at most. (The company employs 228,000 people from June 2024.)

Microsoft also did not respond directly to a question from CBC News about the number of Canadian jobs that were lost as a result of the demobilization of workers, but said that the cuts were occurring through different teams and sites.

She also says that the discounts will most likely affect the American Microsoft Studios, but added, “Any reduction to workers in this profitable and prosperous industry is very disappointing.” (The Canadian Media Syndicate also represents CBC and SMYTH employees on a vacation as a producer with CBC).
