Report: Microsoft planning cuts; Employees facing the threat of layoffs

Microsoft employees are facing the threat of layoffs, as the tech giant plans to let go of thousands of its workforce, particularly in the sales department. Bloomberg News reported this on Wednesday (local time), citing sources familiar with the situation. 

According to the report, this decision is driven by the company's intention to invest more in Artificial Intelligence (AI) while aiming to create a smaller, more effective team. Earlier in May, Microsoft laid off approximately 6,000 employees. 

The tech giant has significantly increased its investment in AI to strengthen its leadership position, as businesses across various industries increasingly incorporate AI into their products and services to maintain a competitive edge.
