Microsoft is gearing up for another significant round of job cuts, with plans to reduce its workforce by less than 2.5%, according to a report published Tuesday by Business Insider.
Sources familiar with the situation told Business Insider the layoffs could be formally announced as early as next week. The cuts are expected to number in the thousands and span a variety of roles across the company.
Among the areas expected to be affected are sales and consulting positions, along with jobs tied to the company’s Xbox gaming division, according to the report.
Reuters, which first picked up the Business Insider report, noted it was unable to independently confirm the details at this time.
