Microsoft: 0 jobs cut

March 26, 2026USTechnologyMicrosoft

Microsoft froze hiring across major divisions including cloud and North American sales groups in March 2026, citing cost-cutting needs to boost margins. The hiring freeze affects most divisions but excludes the Copilot AI tool development group, which continues hiring. This move comes as Microsoft faces pressure to show returns on its heavy AI infrastructure investments and follows the company's previous layoffs of 4% of its workforce in July 2025.
