r/ArtificialInteligence on Reddit: What is the real explanation behind 15,000 layoffs at Microsoft?
July 6, 2025 -
I need help understanding this article on Inc.
https://www.inc.com/jason-aten/microsofts-xbox-ceo-just-explained-why-the-company-is-laying-off-9000-people-its-not-great/91209841
Between May and now Microsoft laid off 15,000 employees, stating, mainly, that the focus now is on AI. Some skeptics I’ve been talking to are telling me that this is just an excuse, that the layoffs are simply Microsoft hiding other reasons behind “AI First”. Can this be true? Can Microsoft be, say, having revenue/financial problems and is trying to disguise those behind the “AI First” discourse?
Are they outsourcing heavily? Or is it true that AI is taking over those 15,000 jobs? The Xbox business must demand a lot and a lot of programming (as must also be the case with most of Microsoft businesses. Are those programming and software design/engineering jobs being taken over by AI?
What I can’t fathom is the possibility that there were 15,000 redundant jobs at the company and that they are now directing the money for those paychecks to pay for AI infrastructure and won’t feel the loss of thee productivity those 15,00 jobs brought to the table unless someone (or something) else is doing it.
Any Microsoft people here can explain, please?

Most likely because some person/s bonuses are tied to cost cutting or "productivity" targets that can be achieved through the lay-offs.

https://pivot-to-ai.com/2025/07/03/microsoft-lays-off-the-staff-who-make-the-money-to-fund-ai-that-doesnt/ Nadella is a true believer, and he is also wrong. They definitely aren't having revenue problems, but they want to throw so much money at AI that they have to make these layoffs to pay for building their Azure server farms. It's not that they think AI can replace those employees. It's that they think AI is going to make them so much money, it's worth cannibalising other parts of their business for in order to scale up the infrastructure as fast as possible.
