According to Newsweek:
Microsoft has initiated another major workforce reduction, cutting nearly 4,800 employees as it begins its new financial year.
The move coincides with a continued surge in high‑skilled visa filings, raising questions about how the company is reshaping its labor force while publicly insisting roles "are not being replaced by AI." The cuts affect workers across commercial sales and Xbox, signaling broader structural changes that could accelerate Microsoft's shift toward AI‑focused global hiring.
