Microsoft is planning to ax thousands of jobs, particularly in sales, as part of the company's latest move to trim its workforce amid heavy spending on AI. From a report: The cuts are expected to be announced early next month[ non-paywalled source], following the end of Microsoft's fiscal year, according to people familiar with the matter.
