Summary: More Microsoft layoffs are being reported right now in Portugal; a rough translation from the company: “Organizational adjustments are a regular, necessary part of our business. We will continue to prioritize and invest in strategic growth areas for our future, supporting and supporting our customers and partners [...] We do not take decisions like this lightly. We are working closely with impacted employees to ensure they are treated with respect and have our full support during these transitions.”
