(Reuters) -Australia’s WiseTech Global confirmed on Wednesday it was cutting some roles as part of a workforce review to focus on "maximizing efficiency via automation and use of artificial intelligence". The software firm did not specify the number of jobs to be impacted in an emailed response to a Reuters query. The Australian Financial Review reported earlier in the day that the Sydney-headquartered logistics software provider has told employees it is increasing the use of AI across the business as part of a broad restructure, citing an email from WiseTech’s chief of staff, Zubin Appoo. WiseTech, known for its flagship CargoWise platform, has a team of around 3,500 people across 38 countries, as of June 30, 2024, according to its 2024 annual report. A spokesperson said the firm is "supporting all impacted team members through this transition, including access to professional outplacement services." Earlier this month, Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) announced plans to lay off nearly 4% of its workforce, while big tech peers including Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN), Facebook (NASDAQ:META) parent Meta and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL)’s Google have all trimmed their labour forces in recent years.

(Reuters) -Microsoft is laying off 3% of its workforce, or roughly 7,000 employees, CNBC reported on Tuesday, as the technology giant looks to rein in costs while funneling billions of dollars into its ambitious bet on artificial intelligence. The cuts will be across all levels and geographies, and are likely the largest since Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) laid off 10,000 employees in 2023, according to the report, which cited a company statement. The company let a small number of employees go in January over performance-related issues, but the latest cuts are not related to that and are focused on trimming management layers, the report said. Microsoft did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. The company’s stock was slightly lower in morning trading. As artificial intelligence emerges as a major growth engine, Big Tech has been pouring money into the space while slashing costs elsewhere to safeguard profit margins. Rival Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) has also laid off hundreds of employees in the past year, as it looks to control costs and prioritize AI, media reports have said. Microsoft’s reported move comes weeks after the company posted stronger-than-expected growth in its cloud-computing business Azure and blowout results in the latest quarter, calming investor worries in an uncertain economy. The company had a total of 228,000 workers, with 126,000 employees in the United States at the end of June last year, according to its annual filing with the U.S. SEC.

Investing.com -- The Small Business Administration (SBA (LON:SBA)) announced on Friday its plan to cut approximately 2,700 jobs, resulting in a 43% reduction in its workforce. This move is part of a broader initiative by the Trump administration to reduce the size of the federal workforce. In a statement, the SBA, an organization that provides resources to small businesses, explained that the layoffs are part of a reorganization effort. The goal of this reorganization is to end the "expansive social policy agenda of the prior Administration," eliminate non-essential roles, and revert to staffing levels that were in place before the pandemic. Before the job cuts, the SBA had a workforce of nearly 6,500 people. With the planned reductions, the organization’s staffing level will significantly decrease, impacting the number of resources available for small businesses.
