Microsoft has initiated another round of job cuts, laying off over 300 employees this week as part of its ongoing efforts to streamline operations and adapt to rapid changes in the tech landscape, reported Bloomberg.

The layoffs come just weeks after the company executed its biggest workforce reduction in recent years, signalling a deeper shift across the industry as artificial intelligence takes centre stage.

According to a notice filed in Washington state and reviewed by Bloomberg, the latest cuts affected several hundred roles. While the company did not specify which departments were impacted, the move adds to the 6,000 layoffs Microsoft announced last month.
