Microsoft appears to be making significant layoffs across Australia and New Zealand as the global economy heads south.

A post this morning by Daniel Larsen, principal customer experience engineer at Microsoft’s local FastTrack for Azure team based in New Zealand, said that entire team had been laid off.

“After seven wonderful years at Microsoft I, along with the rest of the FastTrack for Azure NZ team, have been laid off as Microsoft cuts costs globally,” Larsen wrote.

“While this is disappointing, it’s also an opportunity to reset and try something new.”

Larsen described five other affected employees as “world class engineers experienced in deploying large and complex Azure workloads”.

As noted 5 hours ago: “Azure layoffs have gone on every year since 2020 (the media almost never mentions this and trolls from Microsoft are very sensitive about this topic, based on what we saw in IRC).”
