Microsoft cuts another 40 jobs in Washington state, continuing layoffs amid AI investment surge
Microsoft has laid off more than 15,000 people globally since May. (GeekWire File Photo / Todd Bishop) Microsoft laid off another 40 employees in Washington, bringing the total number of job cuts in its home state to 3,160 since May, according to a public filing. These latest cuts are on a much smaller scale than those made by Microsoft in May and July, when it eliminated 1,985 and 830 positions in the state, respectively, as part of broader layoffs that impacted more than 15,000 people globally. Microsoft confirmed that these cuts are separate from the prior reductions. The company declined to provide details about the teams, roles, or regions impacted. 'Organizational and workforce changes are a necessary and regular part of managing our business,' a Microsoft spokesperson said in a statement. 'We will continue to prioritize and invest in strategic growth areas for our future and in support of our customers and partners.' The company said it is providing severance packages and outplacement services to affected employees, including career counseling and job search support. Microsoft noted that some laid-off workers have transitioned to other roles at the company. The layoffs coincide with record capital spending on AI infrastructure, with the company investing more than $30 billion this quarter alone, in part to expand capacity for training and running AI models. Rising capital expenditures have created pressure to reduce operating costs through workforce reductions. The ongoing layoffs have created tension inside Microsoft's workplace culture, with some employees expressing concern about job insecurity and what some see as an erosion of the more compassionate environment under CEO Satya Nadella. In a company-wide memo July 24, Nadella acknowledged the 'uncertainty and seeming incongruence' of cutting jobs while simultaneously making record investments in AI infrastructure, calling the layoff decisions 'among the most difficult we have to make.' Microsoft's global headcount held steady at 228,000 over the past year, according to its annual 10-K filing. That reflected an initial round of layoffs in May, prior to larger cutbacks in July, even as the company continues to hire in some areas. The company briefly surpassed a $4 trillion market value after a blockbuster earnings report last week, becoming only the second company to reach that mark. Its stock closed Monday up 2.2%, at a market value of $3.98 trillion.

Seattle leaders pass tax hike for big companies, cuts for small biz – but voters get final word
View of Seattle's downtown and Harbor Island, the city's maritime shipping hub, from the Smith Tower. (GeekWire Photo / Lisa Stiffler) With a mix of hand-wringing and can-do enthusiasm, Seattle City Council members this afternoon unanimously passed a tax overhaul that would eliminate business taxes for thousands of small companies while significantly raising rates on the city's biggest revenue generators, including Amazon. The measure now goes to voters to decide its fate. The Seattle Shield Initiative would nix the city's business and occupation (B&O) tax for companies earning up to $2 million annually, while boosting rates on receipts above that threshold. City officials project the restructured tax would generate an additional $80 million per year, with funds designated for human services programs such as support for food insecurity, services for immigrants, drug abuse funding and other programming. Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell and City Councilmember Alexis Mercedes Rinck proposed the legislation on June 25, and needed its approval by today so that it could be included on the Nov. 4 ballot. The measure was originally intended to help plug a $250 million projected budget shortfall for Seattle and to aid in backfilling federal funding that's being cut by the Trump administration. On Monday, councilmembers received a more favorable forecast, learning that the two-year budget deficit is expected to be $150 million. Seattle has struggled for years to find politically viable funding solutions for city services, affordable housing, and downtown recovery efforts following the COVID pandemic. In November, the council narrowly rejected a 2% capital gains tax on stock and bond sale profits exceeding $262,000 as a partial solution to the revenue challenges. A comparison of business and occupation taxes in Seattle and surrounding cities, as produced by Seattle's Office of Economic and Revenue Forecasts and City Budget Office Chart and shared on Aug. 4, 2025. Some city leaders expressed concerns about Seattle's B&O taxes outpacing those collected elsewhere. Jon Scholes, president and CEO of the Downtown Seattle Association, previously called the B&O tax overhaul 'a boneheaded proposal of epic proportions' that would put 'big risks to the fragile commercial tax base.' GeekWire reached out to Amazon for comment on the proposal. A service business company with $20 million in gross revenue that currently pays $85,400 in B&O taxes would see that number rise to $117,720 if voters approve the changes. A corporation earning $100 million would go from $427,000 up to $640,920. The rates are lower for big businesses in retail, wholesale and manufacturing. City staff earlier noted that the legislation would shrink the B&O tax base from 21,000 taxpayers to just 5,000, potentially creating less predictable revenue collections. Among those sharing reservations on the measure — while still voting in favor of it — was City Council President Sara Nelson. 'This was a rushed process,' Nelson said. 'We are talking about completely restructuring the way we charge B&O taxes, which makes up about a third of our general fund revenue, and could have pretty profound impacts on our economy and — most importantly — jobs.' The council rejected tax exemptions targeting the maritime industry, while adding B&O breaks for Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center and Seattle Children's. Rinck framed the bill as smart, progressive policy for safeguarding city services and expressed optimism that voters would agree. 'Once the voters provide us with this tool, we can ensure that critical city services are maintained despite the challenges … our budget or the Trump administration presents,' she said. 'We will also be giving Seattle voters a choice on shielding our small businesses — the heartbeat of our neighborhoods — from economic uncertainty.' Key details Under the Seattle Shield Initiative: The B&O tax threshold exemption increases from $100,000 to $2 million in gross revenue. Businesses that exceed that threshold would not pay tax on the first $2 million. An estimated 76% of small- and medium-sized businesses would no longer pay the tax. About 90% of all businesses would pay less than they do currently. Retail, wholesale and manufacturing businesses above the $2 million exemption would pay 34 cents per $100, up from 22 cents. Service companies would see a jump from 43 cents per $100 up to 65 cents. RELATED:
