Illustration: Natalie Peeples/AxiosMicrosoft announced layoffs across multiple divisions on Monday, Axios has confirmed.Why it matters: The move is yet another example of large tech companies cutting jobs after earlier moving to slow or freeze hiring as the broader economy cools.Details: Microsoft declined to say how many jobs had been cut, but a source said the layoffs numbered under 1,000.The cuts occurred across a variety of levels, teams and parts of the world.Multiple laid-off workers turned to Twitter and Blind, among other online forums, to share that their job had been cut.The big picture: Nearly all the major tech firms have slowed headcount growth, with many freezing all but essential hires. A number of companies have already moved to cut jobs, including Snap and, as Axios reported yesterday, Flipboard.Meta, which had already frozen hiring, plans to cut budgets in most divisions, with layoffs expected.What they're saying: “Like all companies, we evaluate our business priorities on a regular basis, and make structural adjustments accordingly. We will continue to invest in our business and hire in key growth areas in the year ahead,” Microsoft said in a statement to Axios.

This is the second of two articles. The first article can be found here.To qualify as LinkedIn’s Vice President of Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging, Rosanna Durruthy has had to gain both an understanding of herself and how to cultivate a culture that allows employees to live their authentic self.As a queer Afro-Latina, Durruthy has been advocating for herself as much as she has been for those around her, working to provide a workplace that accepts them.However, while talent is evenly distributed across communities, in Durruthy’s experience opportunities are not so equally shared.For example, a 2022 report by LinkedIn found that 34% of Latino professionals received no mentorship or the presence of a coworker that they could consider an ally in their difficulties.Of those same Latino professionals, nearly two thirds of those aged 18-34 felt overlooked for career opportunities because of their race.Following a long career in both human capital and talent and diversity, Durruthy received an offer from LinkedIn for their Global Head of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging in 2017.As she gained more experience, Durruthy would become the Vice President of Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging in 2019, working across all levels of LinkedIn to ensure the company provides equal opportunity…

How many LinkedIn connections do you have? If you are mid- to senior-level in your career, you should have more than 500 LinkedIn followers/connections. If you don’t, you aren’t truly maximizing your network or using LinkedIn effectively. I know you know more than 500 people who are on LinkedIn when over 800 million people are on LinkedIn today. Also once you reach 501 onnections, your profile will no longer display the actual number of connections but rather say “500+.” This makes it look like your network is robust. While the number of connections you have shouldn’t be focused on the quantity and instead the quality of relationships, my guess is that you aren’t thinking strategically or broadly enough about who you know – former colleagues and classmates, those with whom you worked during the early part of your career=, people with whom you served on an industry committee even family and friends. Remember every single person you meet will be important down the line as either a source of business, a referral source, a job prospect or a colleague.  While there are different techniques/tools for increasing your personal LinkedIn network and your company followers, the same major rules apply –…

Mr Price said Australian companies needed to shift their mindset when it came to hiring.Dom Price says nearly half of the technology company’s new hires in the first half of this year are working remotely. Janie Barrett“I’ve been working with teams across the globe to build cohesion and identity in an environment where none of them have ever met before physically. And it’s very doable. Unfortunately, many organisations in Australia just haven’t built ‘the muscle’ to do it,” Mr Price said.Mining sector makes inroadsJobs data provided exclusively to The Australian Financial Review also showed that among the male-dominated industries, the energy and mining sector had made the biggest advances in hiring women over the past three years. Between August 2019 and August 2022 the proportion of female hires in energy and mining grew to 35 per cent from 30 per cent. Progress in the construction and IT sectors was far slower. The proportion of female hires in the construction industry grew 2 percentage points to 29 per cent between August 2019 and August 2022, while the proportion of new hires who were women rose to 34 per cent from 32 per cent in the software and IT sector.Feon Ang, LinkedIn’s managing…

Holograms aren't just for dead celebrities anymore. In fact, it might not be long before you're attending a virtual work meeting with lifelike, 3D representations of your colleagues.That's the future Google is working toward: The company says it's expanding testing of its Project Starline, 3D video call booths where you can chat with holographic versions of your friends, family or coworkers. After testing the booths in its own offices over the past year, the company now intends to place them in the offices of some of its corporate partners, including Salesforce, WeWork, T-Mobile and Hackensack Meridian Health.Google says it will begin installing prototypes before the end of the year, and that the technology is already advanced enough to make it seem like the person you're talking to is right there in the room with you — even if they're on the other side of the world.It's "a magic window, where users can talk, gesture and make eye contact with another person, life-size and in three dimensions," the company said in its announcement last week.The technology combines machine learning, computer vision, spatial audio and light-field display systems, Google says. It relies on a series of high-resolution cameras and custom depth sensors…

If you're staying up at 4 a.m. to study for a test or skipping meals to prepare for a presentation at work, you're doing it all wrong, according to Target CEO and chairman Brian Cornell.Instead, take his approach to performing the "very best" every day: Sleep and eat "just like you would if you're playing in the U.S. Open or the Super Bowl.""It's the night before the game. I'm going to get a good meal. I'm going to rest. I'm going to show up at my very best," Cornell said on a recent episode of the "How Leaders Lead with David Novak" podcast, hosted by Yum Brands executive chairman David Novak.Cornell, 64, has helmed Target since 2014, leading the retailer through a rapid expansion of e-commerce over the past decade and, more recently, the Covid-19 pandemic. In 2021, Target's annual revenue reached $106 billion, a rise of more than 35% over the past two years.The CEO said he used to fall victim to some pretty common harmful habits: going about your day with little sleep, drinking coffee for meals and not leaving any time for post-work exercise or relaxation.Workplaces can easily create a culture where those unhealthy habits feel perfectly…

Posts chronicling personal failures, the tedious day-to-day life of being a new parent or one's journey to more confidence used to be reserved for Facebook.Over the last couple years, though, they have made their way to the networking platform LinkedIn. During the pandemic, the line between work and life was all but erased for many workers around the world.This, paired with the shift in LinkedIn's algorithm to favoring more personal stories, means the platform has become an acceptable place to be much more open. This can result in some cringe-worthy posts (see: crying CEO), but being vulnerable at work isn't inherently bad, says Claire Wasserman, the founder of Ladies Get Paid, an educational platform that helps women get ahead professionally and financially.Some people, though, might be taking it too far. "I find the pendulum takes a little while to center," she says. "So right now we are shifting a bit extreme. Being able to integrate who you are in your professional story is wonderful, but at the same time you use different platforms for different things." If you want to share more personal stories on LinkedIn, you might want to consider where you are in your career and exactly what you're trying to accomplish.Here…

The All Markets Summit will air on Yahoo Finance from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. EST on Monday, Oct. 17.It has been a year to forget in the tech industry.We've seen nasty down-rounds on formerly hot private companies (see onetime buy now, pay later darling Klarna) that fetched stratospheric valuations in 2020 and 2021. Publicly traded tech companies have already laid off workers — from money-losing stock trading outfit Robinhood (HOOD) to the more household name platforms Snap (SNAP) and Netflix (NFLX).Even once financially invincible Meta (META) — the company formerly known as Facebook — has fired off a few earnings warnings thanks to a sharp economic-driven slowdown in advertising sales. Meta also waved goodbye to longtime COO Sheryl Sandberg in late September.Amid the chaotic new normal for tech, LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman says industry leaders have learned lessons that they can apply to achieve better results in 2023 and beyond."I think what you're seeing is lessons being learned and evolution happening," Hoffman said in an interview filmed for the Yahoo Finance All Markets Summit. "I think one of the good lessons is to stay very focused."Sheryl Sandberg, then COO of Meta, attends the annual Allen and Co. Sun Valley Media Conference,…
