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 began laying off thousands of employees, targeting less than 3% of its global workforce in a move to streamline operations and reduce management layers.
