According to a post on the Blind forum, the layoffs may affect up to 15% of the technology giant's employees. Possible timeframes are mentioned - early May or June 2026, but the exact date is not specified.
The source of the information remains anonymous, but the Blind platform is intended for verified company employees, which gives such reports a certain context. At the same time, such data should still be treated with caution.
If the information is confirmed, Microsoft will join the list of major technology and gaming companies that have carried out staff reductions in recent years. At the moment, these are only rumors, and the company itself has not commented on the situation.
