• Microsoft employs some 228,000 workers globally.
• Like other large tech companies, Microsoft has implemented mass layoffs in the past.
• Microsoft's recent layoffs have primarily hit Xbox, Activision Blizzard, and Azure.

A company doesn't reach the half-century mark without a few rounds of layoffs now and then. Microsoft, founded in 1975, is gigantic in terms of revenues and employees and has been known to fire huge numbers of workers en masse from time to time.

Microsoft (MSFT, Financial) is reportedly preparing to implement layoffs across the company as part of a strategic move to tighten performance reviews. The company spokesperson has confirmed the layoff plans but did not disclose the exact number of employees affected.

The focus is set to sharpen on high-performing talent, with appropriate actions being taken if employee performance does not meet expectations. However, when layoffs occur due to performance issues, Microsoft generally fills these vacancies, meaning the overall headcount may not significantly change.

As the United States economy continues its recovery from the shock of the coronavirus pandemic, things are certainly looking up—but not everyone will have job security in 2025.


The final months of 2024 delivered additional blows to workers in several sectors as numerous layoff announcements were made for 2025. Major companies, including Amazon, aircraft manufacturer Boeing, and budget carrier Spirit Airlines, have all announced layoffs that will impact employees into 2025. While the number of job layoffs across the U.S. in 2024 is not yet available, it's likely that it fared better than in 2023, when layoffs soared by 98 percent in 2022, given improving economic conditions.

What will happen in this new year remains to be seen.

"The trajectory of layoffs in 2025 will depend on several factors, including macroeconomic conditions, consumer demand, and how companies adapt to an evolving business landscape," Stephanie Alston, CEO of BGG Enterprises, told Newsweek.

• Chinese President Xi Jinping was reportedly dismissive about the threat of deflation hitting the economy. While consumers can benefit from falling prices, persistent deflation can also lead to a downward spiral for spending and investment.

The threat of deflation doesn’t seem to worry Chinese President Xi Jinping that much, even as the world’s second-biggest economy continues to struggle with weak growth.

Boardrooms and corporations like McDonald’s ditch diversity goals amid anti-woke backlash in new Trump era​

Boardrooms and corporations like McDonald’s ditch diversity goals amid anti-woke backlash in new Trump era
McDonald’s announced on Monday it’s pulling pack on certain aspects of its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) work, the latest high-profile corporation to move away from such programs amid changing legal precedent and a cultural backlash against “woke” agendas that’s only set to grow in the coming Trump administration.

Executives wrote in an open letter to employees that it was still committed to inclusion, but that the fast-food giant would retire specific diversity goals for senior leadership and end a program encouraging suppliers to increase minority leadership.

Among other factors, the Golden Arches cited the “shifting legal landscape” after the 2023 Supreme Court ruling striking down the use of race-conscious affirmative action in university admissions.
