Microsoft let some folks go this week in another round of layoffs, the latest in a string of cuts throughout 2024.

The company wouldn’t say exactly how many people were shown the door, but folks on LinkedIn who got the boot mentioned it hit product and program management roles pretty hard. The cuts affected teams and offices around the world.

Microsoft says these types of things are normal business stuff. “We gotta adjust who’s working on what sometimes, that’s just how it goes,” a company spokesperson said in a statement. “Our main focus is still on growing the cool stuff we’re working on and helping out our customers.“

This isn’t the first time Microsoft has trimmed the fat this year. Back in June, around 1,000 employees got the axe across different parts of the company, including their cloud computing service (Azure) and their holographic headset thing (HoloLens). There were also layoffs in January that hit their gaming division hard, just a few months after they bought Activision Blizzard for a crazy amount of money.

Analysts say these cuts are Microsoft’s way of keeping profits high while they spend a bunch of money on new stuff, like souping up their cloud computers to handle all that fancy artificial intelligence everyone’s talking about.
