Microsoft Exec Dismisses Mass Layoff Report: “100% Made Up”

A recent report from TipRanks claimed Microsoft is planning significant layoffs this month, potentially impacting 11,000 to 22,000 positions across its Azure Cloud, Xbox, and sales divisions. However, Jez Corden, an editor at Windows Central, quickly stated the Xbox portion of the report was untrue. Shortly after, Frank X. Shaw, Microsoft’s Chief Communications Officer (and a 17-year company veteran, per his LinkedIn profile), also refuted the claims.
