The layoffs are the latest in the U.S. technology sector, with companies cutting their bloated workforce and slashing costs to reverse pandemic-era excesses and prepare for a worsening global economy.

Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) said earlier on Wednesday it would cut about 10,000 jobs and take a $1.2-billion charge.
