|
5.0
Microsoft dismissed reports on Jan. 8, 2026 claiming up to 22,000 job cuts planned for January 2026 after a TipRanks report suggested cuts between 11,000 and 22,000 across Azure, Xbox and global sales. Frank X. Shaw, Microsoft’s chief communications officer, publicly called the claims "100 percent made up," underscoring rapid spread of unverified rumours amid July 2025 layoffs of about 9,000 staff.
