According to a recent filing with the Washington StateEmployment Security Department (ESD), Microsoft announced an additional 559 job cuts on Monday. The job cuts were made in Redmond and Bellevue, Washington, as part of the tech giant’s global plan to lay off 10,000 employees, first announced on January 18. Please note that the ESD filings only reflect job cuts made in Washington state.
The most recent iteration of restructuring has affected the SCIM units of Microsoft, which comprises the Security, Compliance, Identity, and Management department, overseen by Charlie Bell – a former executive of Amazon Web Services, as reported byGeekWire.
According to reliable sources,Business Todayhas learned that GitHub, an internet hosting service provider under the ownership of Microsoft, has recently laid off approximately 142 engineering positions associated with its operations in India. “A total of 142 engineers were let go at GitHub India yesterday (Monday). Laid-off employees have been given two months’ pay as severance,” a source told the outlet.
In a recent email to employees, GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke explained the rationale behind some tough decisions the company has made, including staff reductions and new budgetary measures aimed at safeguarding short-term business health and fueling long-term growth. Dohmke also highlighted the importance of accelerating the company’s integration of AI technology, citing GitHub Copilot as a prime example of success in this area.
Several individuals who identify themselves as employees of GitHub have verified the occurrence of layoffs through the social media outlet Twitter, although these appear to be separate from the India layoffs.
“I was laid off from GitHubtoday. Please let me know about product manager and open/inner source roles or leave me a recommendation on LinkedIn,” said one user.
