The reductions will impact every division and will influence workers at all tiers.

As per the yearly report provided by Microsoft to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the company had 228 thousand employees by the end of June last year, with 126 thousand of them based in the United States. Consequently, approximately 6.8 thousand workers might be laid off.

According to a Microsoft representative, the layoffs are not linked to the performance of individual employees and are intended, among other goals, to enhance the company's management structure.
