Microsoft reportedly lays off 1,000 employees, mostly in sales and customer service teams in fresh round of job cuts

Microsoft has reportedly reduced its workforce further by 1,000 over the past week, mostly in sales and customer services teams. According to a report in Insider, citing sources, the new layoffs are beyond the 10,000 jobs that the tech giant planned to eliminate earlier this year. It's, however, a regular exercise for Microsoft to make changes at the start of a new fiscal year, which began July 1, the report noted.
