Companies report that despite constant success, it seems that this is not enough to avoid layoffs. In information that already seems pretty common, it turns out that Microsoft and Google They have made hundreds of layoffs in recent days.
According to Reuters, both Microsoft and Google have made hundreds of layoffs in their respective cloud regions, something that many did not see coming, as these divisions were created to ensure a positive future in the industry. however, It seems companies have changed direction with the advancement of artificial intelligence, affecting their employees.
While the exact number is unknown at this time, Reuters noted that each division has suffered more than 100 layoffs so far. It’s unknown at this point how much this will affect Microsoft and Google’s plans for the cloud market.But considering everyone’s efforts in artificial intelligence in recent months, it seems the move won’t hurt their future too much.
Let us remember that artificial intelligence has gained more importance in recent years. This is the same thing we saw a few years ago with clouds. It is very likely that this story will repeat itself in the future, when the technology industry finds another small gold mine for itself. On a related note, this is Microsoft’s new Surface Pro. Similarly, Google wants to limit blocking extensions.
Author’s Note:
This is a real insult. So far in 2024 alone, Microsoft has laid off more than two thousand workers, and Google has also played its part in putting hundreds of workers out of work. It cannot go on like this, it is a horrible thing that, I hope, this is the last we hear of it.
