“Despite earning massive profits, major technology companies are increasingly adopting cost-cutting measures to boost margins further resulting in mass layoffs. Reports indicate that over 1,00,000 tech workers have been laid off globally in just the first six months of this year. Last year, driven by fears of a recession, many companies downsized drastically. This year, the same companies are citing reasons such as artificial intelligence integration and corporate restructuring to justify job cuts.
“Among the worst offenders are tech giants like."
"Microsoft - Announced this week the layoff of 9,100 employees, about 4% of its workforce. This marks the fourth round of layoffs this year alone, following earlier cuts in January (1%), May (6,000), and June (300). Last year, it also laid off around 10,000 employees."
