Washington: US tech corporation Microsoft has cut its staff by more than 300 people after a major layoff in May, Bloomberg reported, citing a notice from the corporation to the US state of Washington that it has obtained.

In May, CNBC reported that Microsoft would reduce its staff worldwide by 3% — the largest layoff at the company since 2023. According to data on the Microsoft website, as of June 2024, its staff worldwide numbered 228,000 people.

More than 300 employees received a message on Monday that their positions were eliminated, the agency said.

According to a Microsoft spokesperson, these organizational changes are necessary to improve the company’s position and achieve success in a rapidly changing market.

In January of this year, the company announced small layoffs in order to improve efficiency. According to the company’s spokesperson, the new layoffs are not related to this. One of their goals is to reduce management levels.
