Microsoft announces a further reduction of 9,000 jobs, about 4% of its workforce, as it invests in artificial intelligence infrastructure.
Previous layoffs in May affected around 6,000 staff, with a focus on sales, and the company is planning to streamline products, procedures, and roles.
Job cuts are expected to impact various roles at Microsoft, including about 10% of jobs at the Barcelona-based King division, affecting approximately 200 employees.
Microsoft, despite being a highly profitable company with significant AI investments, aims to reduce organisational layers and managers to position itself for success in a competitive market.
