In this Wednesday Market Outsiders, Namaan and Jenny Rae dissect Microsoft’s 3% workforce cut and Nissan’s plan to cut 20% of staff and close 7 plants by 2027.
They explore why Microsoft, despite strong demand, is trimming costs - likely via AI and acquisition synergies - highlighting risks for non-technical managers. For Nissan, rising raw material costs and a commoditized market push practicality over innovation, with new CEO Espinosa signaling discipline.
They challenge blaming tariffs, offering insights for navigating cost-driven decisions.
