Satya Nadella, chairman and chief executive officer of Microsoft Corp., speaks during the virtual Meta Connect event in New York on Oct. 11, 2022. A Microsoft spokesperson on Monday confirmed that the company let go of additional workers as the software maker's revenue is expected to slow, thanks to weaker sales of Windows licenses for PCs. "Like all companies, we evaluate our business priorities on a regular basis, and make structural adjustments accordingly," a Microsoft spokesperson told CNBC. In July, Microsoft called for about 10% revenue growth in the fiscal first quarter, slower than it's been in more than five years. Axios, which reported the layoffs earlier on Monday, said the cuts impacted fewer than 1,000 people and cited an unnamed person.
