Microsoft CEO Explains Recent Layoffs in Internal Memo

As Microsoft’s world’s number 2 most valuable company, behind NVIDIA, despite the $ 8 trillion market value, Tech Dev has kept more than 15,000 people this year.

In a memo, publicly released on Microsoft’s corporate blog, staff, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella resolved the recent job reduction, and called the decisions “difficult” to do.

“Before anything, I want to talk to what I have, and what I am thinking of many of you,” Nadila wrote, “Nadila wrote,” Nadila wrote. And what am I thinking of many of you: Ending the recent job, “Nadella wrote.

Nadila “acknowledged the uncertainty and seemingly instability of the time we are not involved in,” but noted that Microsoft is “promoted” with extraordinary market performance, strategy and growth. For example, Microsoft’s stock priced at a height of all time, which hit the price of more than $ 500 for the first time earlier this month.

Nadella also said that the company is investing more in AI infrastructure than ever before, which has put more than $ 80 billion in AI in the fiscal year ended in June.

“Microsoft has never been seen before,” Nadila wrote. “And still, at the same time, we have gone through. This is a secret of success in an industry that has no cost to the franchise. “

Nadella explained that the disconnect between the promoted financial and the disconnection. He noticed that the head coise in Microsoft “is not relatively unitary” because the company keeps serving new workers, and they do not promise that they will not be able to get rid of it in the future. Microsoft reports that 228,000 workers are employed by June 2024.

In the memo, Nadella also shaped Microsoft’s mission from the “Software Factory” to “Intelligence Engine”. He said the company’s future opportunity was to bring AI to all eight billion people on the planet.
