Title: Microsoft Planning 'Major' Xbox Layoffs Next Week
Link: https://games.slashdot.org/story/25/06/24/204...
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Verge: Microsoft is planning to
cut jobs in the company's Xbox gaming business, as early as next week. I
first reported in Notepad earlier this month that Microsoft was planning Xbox
layoffs "potentially by the end of the month," and now Bloomberg says a round
of "major layoffs" is due next week. I understand managers at Microsoft have
been briefed about Xbox cuts and wider layoffs in other parts of Microsoft's
businesses. The upcoming cuts are also expected to hit Microsoft's sales
organization, just at the start of a new financial year. Microsoft is
planning to restructure parts of its Xbox business as it looks ahead to its
next generation of consoles. One source tells me Microsoft is restructuring
Xbox distribution across central Europe, resulting in some Xbox operations
ceasing in some regions. The expected layoffs will be in addition to the
6,000 cuts Microsoft already made in May, and on top of the more than 300 job
cuts earlier this month.
