Microsoft has pushed back against allegations that its latest wave of layoffs was tied to foreign workers replacing American employees. The tech giant is dismissing accusations that job cuts were designed to make way for foreign workers to be hired via the H-1B visa programme.
The claims came after sweeping job cuts that affected thousands, especially at Xbox. While layoffs were initially viewed as part of a broader restructuring of Microsoft's gaming business, some critics argued Microsoft's continued use of the H-1B visa programme raised questions about its hiring practices following the layoffs.
