(CNN) - Thousands of Microsoft employees are facing layoffs as part of a major reorganization. The tech giant is cutting mostly sales positions, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Microsoft confirmed to CNN that it is preparing to notify workers whose jobs are getting cut or are under consideration for elimination. Most of the cuts will be in positions outside the U.S.
Microsoft announced the reorganization internally on Monday. It followed reports last week that the company was planning to boost its focus on cloud sales.
Microsoft's cloud-computing platform "Azure" saw its revenue soar 93 percent in its most recent quarter.
