In the summer of 2025, job security in the tech industry has deteriorated, with significant layoffs reported from major companies. Microsoft announced cuts of up to 9,100 jobs in July, following earlier layoffs that affected thousands in May and June. This strategic decision is aimed at reallocating resources towards artificial intelligence projects. Meanwhile, TikTok's parent company ByteDance is also laying off employees, signaling broader trends of workforce downsizing in the tech sector as organizations transition towards prioritizing AI.
Microsoft is reportedly cutting up to 9,100 jobs this July, affecting about 4% of its workforce, in a move to reallocate funds towards AI investment.
Laid-off Microsoft employees faced a severe emotional burden, exacerbated when an executive suggested they could utilize AI to cope with job loss.
