Woofun AI reports that Microsoft intends to reduce its workforce by fewer than 5,500 employees, representing less than 2.5% of its 220,000 staff. The reductions will target the sales, consulting, and Xbox gaming divisions. This restructuring coincides with the company's commitment to invest approximately $190 billion in new infrastructure over the coming years. Microsoft shares fell 19% in June, recording the worst monthly decline since the early 2000s dot-com bubble.
