Microsoft has initiated a sweeping restructuring, eliminating thousands of job roles this week. The tech company would layoff a total of 4800 job roles—approximately 2.1% of its global workforce.
The mass layoffs arrive at the start of Microsoft’s new fiscal year, following a painful stretch on Wall Street where the tech giant’s stock plunged nearly 23% in the first half of 2026—marking its worst first-half performance since the 2000 dot-com crash.
Notably the cuts fall heaviest across the company’s commercial sales groups and its long-struggling Xbox gaming division, which is facing the most radical organizational overhaul in its history.
