Microsoft announced on Wednesday it is laying off 10,000 workers, almost five per cent of its total workforce, to align its cost structure with revenue and customer demand, the latest company to cut jobs after technology giants like Facebook and Amazon.
 

Microsoft's Indian-origin CEO Satya Nadella, in communication with employees, said the company will align its cost structure with revenue and customer demand.
 

“Today, we are making changes that will result in the reduction of our overall workforce by 10,000 jobs” through the end of the third quarter of fiscal year 2023.
