How Tech Sector Layoffs Are Impacting Microsoft Azure
Over at Microsoft, Azure software engineers and cloud solutions architects are reporting on LinkedIn they’ve lost their jobs.
Those posts come after Microsoft on Jan. 18 told the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission it would shed “approximately 10,000 employees by the end of the third fiscal quarter of 2023.” The company’s most recent quarter will end on March 31.
Microsoft attributes its need for layoffs to changes to its hardware portfolio and the need to consolidate its office leases. There does seem to be more that Microsoft is considering, though, especially on the cloud side.
