Microsoft has cut some jobs after it faced slower revenue growth last quarter.

According to Axios, the tech giant slashed around 1,000 jobs across a variety of sectors.

A spokesperson for Microsoft told The Hill that “like all companies, we evaluate our business priorities on a regular basis, and make structural adjustments accordingly.”

“We will continue to invest in our business and hire in key growth areas in the year ahead,” the spokesperson said.

Microsoft had employed about 220,000 people at the end of June.

Microsoft may be cutting jobs because they can’t field better products.

According to Axios, the tech giant slashed around 1,000 jobs across a variety of sectors.

That's less than half of 1%, iow, a meaningless drop for MS employment. They probably lose more than 1% of employees on a monthly basis.

But, for the general economy, the number of hamburger flipper jobs will probably create more than 10,000 jobs, thereby, making the number of jobs lost at MS insignificant. The difference between the MS jobs' wages and those of the hamburger flipper jobs, won't get reported.
