Microsoft announced another round of job cuts this week, which comes after laying off 10,000 employees in January.
"Organizational and workforce adjustments are a necessary and regular part of managing our business. We will continue to prioritize and invest in strategic growth areas for our future and in support of our customers and partners," a Microsoft spokesperson said in an emailed statement to FOX Business.
The tech giant did not specify how many employees would be impacted by the layoffs, who are reportedly in customer service, support and sales. GeekWire was first to report the news on Monday.
