Microsoft plans to lay off 10,000 employees, the company said Wednesday, as part of a restructuring plan to focus on areas of growth and brace the company for an economic downturn.

Amazon, Meta and Salesforce are among the tech companies that have announced cuts as worries of a recession intensify.
