Microsoft is making its second major wave of layoffs this year with the Wednesday announcement that it is cutting roughly 9,000 jobs, which reportedly includes an undisclosed number of managers and salespeople.

The reductions followed cuts of about 6,000 positions last quarter, and were indicative of a tightening job market at big technology companies.

The cloud computing tech giant did not disclose the total amount of lost jobs but as of June 2024 it employed 228,000 people, bringing the latest layoffs to about 9,000 people
