According to a new leak, Microsoft is preparing for another round of layoffs, potentially affecting less than 2.5% of its total workforce, following months of job cuts. The leaked information suggests that Microsoft currently employs around 228,000 people, meaning the new round could impact thousands of workers, although the company has not yet officially confirmed this. The report indicates that the layoffs will affect several departments within the company, with a particular focus on sales and consulting teams, as well as the Xbox division.
