Kane99 Posted June 25, 2025 Posted June 25, 2025 And so it begins yet again. Microsoft is said to be planning what is said to be a "major" round of layoffs next week. Not only that, they are said to be doing layoffs and job cuts for other parts of their business. Why is it a company so wealthy has to fire so many people? I just don't get it. The main cuts look to be coming from the Xbox gaming business side of things. It's sad seeing a company that continued to make deals and products, yet they continually have to layoff their employees to make it by. That doesn't sound sustainable to me. But, at this point in the gaming industry, it's just another day. Source - https://www.theverge.com/microsoft-xbox/691967/microsoft-xbox-layoffs-job-cuts-rumor
Scorpion Posted June 28, 2025 Posted June 28, 2025 It's disheartening to see these recurring layoffs at Microsoft, especially within Xbox. Despite immense wealth and new ventures, major corporations often conduct layoffs to "streamline" operations, reduce costs, and satisfy investor demands for higher profit margins. It's a sad reality in today's tech and gaming industries.
