2026年第一次的💊来了
Microsoft Corporation is reportedly planning another round of job cuts in January 2026. Estimates suggest between 11,000 and 22,000 roles could be removed worldwide. That would equal about 5% to 10% of its total workforce of roughly 220,000 employees.
The cuts are expected to take place in the third week of January. Reports from workers point to Azure cloud teams, the Xbox gaming unit, and global sales as key areas of focus. So far, Microsoft has not confirmed the plan. This move would follow a difficult 2025. During that year, Microsoft cut more than 15,000 jobs across several rounds. Those actions came even as revenue and profit stayed strong.
AI Focus Drives Cost Shifts
At the same time, Microsoft is spending heavily on AI systems. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026 alone, capital spending reached $34.9 billion. The company expects total spending for the year to pass $80 billion, which would be higher than fiscal 2025.
Most of that money is going toward data centers, chips, and AI tools. Due to this shift, analysts believe Microsoft is moving funds away from payroll and into long-term tech assets. As a result, middle managers and older product teams may face a higher risk.
Meanwhile, roles tied to AI research and core cloud work are seen as more stable. This reflects the company's goal to stay competitive in AI development.
