    NEW YORK — Microsoft has announced its decision to let go of several thousand employees, marking its second major round of layoffs in recent months.

    The tech giant disclosed this workforce reduction as part of its ongoing efforts to streamline operations amid changing industry dynamics. While specifics on the number of jobs affected were not disclosed, the layoffs come as the company seeks to adjust strategies and resources in response to evolving market demands.

    This move mirrors a growing trend in the technology industry where similar companies are reevaluating their workforce amid economic uncertainties and shifting priorities. Microsoft’s latest layoff announcement follows a previous round of job cuts made earlier this year.

    The company stated that these layoffs are always a difficult decision but are necessary to ensure the long-term health and proficiency of the organization. Affected employees will receive support from Microsoft in the transition process.

    As part of these adjustments, Microsoft aims to focus its efforts on strategic areas believed to have the most potential for growth. The reductions are also part of a larger restructuring to enhance efficiency and position the company for future success.
