Microsoft finally stopped installing, officially confirming a report from the media Axios. This report details the situation of Microsoft's layoffs in multiple departments, which means that Microsoft really wants to lay off employees.
As for the reason, it is very simple, that is, Microsoft's performance is really bad. Affected by the sluggish environment, appreciation of the US dollar, and weak demand in the PC market, Microsoft's revenue was lower than expected, and it is expected that there will be no improvement in 2023, so it layoffs.
For this reason, Microsoft executives couldn't help but say on social media: 2022 is really difficult.
In fact, it is not only Microsoft that feels difficult in 2022, but many other American technology giants also feel the same: 2022 is really difficult.
, such as , Intel , was revealed to have large layoffs in some departments such as sales and marketing, with the proportion as high as 20%.
and technology giants including Snap and Oracle have previously announced layoffs of varying scales. In addition, companies such as Apple and Meta have also slowed down or frozen recruitment plans because the market is not as expected and the prospects are unclear.
, AMD, Micon , and Q3 performance was also far lower than expected. Micron, especially, set a record of the worst in several years, with a profit of 45%, and a capital expenditure of 30% will be cut next year to cope with the next crisis.
It can be imagined that in the future, more and more giants will be laying off employees and suspending recruitment news.
Of course, it is not only the American technology giants that say it is very difficult, but domestic giants will also feel the chill. For example, Ren Zhengfei directly said, "We must pass the cold air to everyone."
Domestic mobile phone manufacturers have the most real feeling this year. Xiaomi , OPPO, VIVO, sold tens of millions of mobile phones less this year, which is very cold. There are also PC manufacturers, such as , Lenovo, , and others, who have sold millions of computers, and they still feel the cold.
can be seen. When the cold wind in the market blows, no matter how big or small it is, it is constantly different from the country. No company can survive alone, and everyone can feel the chill.
