Microsoft trims layers of management to boost team agility, with business units like Xbox and LinkedIn also affected by the organizational changes.

The Redmond-based tech giant didn’t disclose how many employees in total it plans to lay off, but a spokesperson said up to 3% of Microsoft’s workforce could be affected. Microsoft has 228,000 employees worldwide, meaning more than 6,800 people could be laid off.

Microsoft's latest layoffs, which include jobs at LinkedIn, come weeks after it reported upbeat earnings and guidance after AI investments.
