THE LEAD
A second wave of Microsoft layoffs hit early Tuesday, with 9,041 positions eliminated across the cloud division. Internal Slack channels showed engineers receiving notice via calendar invite, a pattern repeated from the May reduction. Severance averages 14 weeks for engineers with 3+ years tenure.
The cuts arrive two weeks after Satya Nadella's all-hands stating "operational efficiency" as a priority. Microsoft declined to comment on individual roles affected.
