Microsoft lays off employees in security, experiences and devices, sales, and gaming — separate from performance cuts


The layoffs are separate from cuts targeting underperforming employees across the company, a spokesperson confirmed.

A Microsoft spokesperson said the layoffs are small but did not specify a figure and unrelated to the job cuts Business Insider recently reported targeting underperforming employees across the company. The group is run by Charlie Bell, a former top cloud executive at Amazon, who stunned the industry when he left for Microsoft in 2021 to lead a revamped cybersecurity effort.
