Microsoft layoffs hit 830 workers in home state of Washington
Among the thousands of Microsoft employees who lost their jobs in the cutbacks announced this week were 830 staffers in the company's home state of Washington. Nearly a dozen game design workers in the state were part of the layoffs, along with three audio designers, two mechanical engineers, one optical engineer and one lab technician, according to a document Microsoft submitted to Washington employment officials. There were also five individual contributors and one manager at the Microsoft Research division in the cuts, as well as 10 lawyers and six hardware engineers, the document shows. Microsoft announced plans on Wednesday to eliminate 9,000 jobs, as part of an effort to eliminate redundancy and to encourage employees to focus on more meaningful work by adopting new technologies, a person familiar with the matter told CNBC. The person asked not to be named while discussing private matters. Scores of Microsoft salespeople and video game developers have since come forward on social media to announce their departure. In April, Microsoft said revenue from Xbox content and services grew 8%, trailing overall growth of 13%. In sales, the company parted ways with 16 customer success account management staff members based in Washington, 28 in sales strategy enablement and another five in sales compensation. One Washington-based government affairs worker was also laid off. Microsoft eliminated 17 jobs in cloud solution architecture in the state, according to the document. The company's fastest revenue growth comes from Azure and other cloud services that customers buy based on usage. CEO Satya Nadella has not publicly commented on the layoffs, and Microsoft didn't immediately provide a comment about the cuts in Washington. On a conference call with analysts in April, Microsoft CFO Amy Hood said the company had a "focus on cost efficiencies" during the March quarter.

Design Group Americas Voluntarily Files for Chapter 11 Protection, Initiates Sale Process Aimed at Maximizing Value Through Going Concern Transactions
BERWICK, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--IG Design Group Americas, Inc. and its domestic subsidiaries (collectively, 'DGA' or the 'Company'), a design, manufacturing, sourcing, and distribution company of branded and private label consumer products, announced today that it has voluntarily filed for chapter 11 relief in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the 'Court') to facilitate a court-supervised marketing and sale process pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Company intends to pursue a value maximization strategy by engaging with buyers who are interested in purchasing certain of the Company's business segments as a going concern, while concurrently winding down its domestically manufactured woven ribbon products business and supporting assets. DGA includes over 50 product categories and brands, some of which were established over a century ago. Like many companies in the consumer products sector, DGA has been navigating a challenging operating landscape for several years, compounded by the loss of a major customer, who entered liquidation and significantly impacted DGA's revenue as well as new trade tariffs imposed in 2025 that increased operational costs, affected pricing strategies, and contributed to reduced customer orders. The Company's decision to pursue an in-court process was driven by liquidity constraints, substantial working capital requirements, and the seasonal nature of significant portions of its business. 'Following DGA's sale to an affiliate of Hilco Capital Group, we have worked diligently with our advisors to evaluate the optimal path forward for the business,' said Sue Buchta, Chief Executive Officer of DGA. 'We enter the court-supervised sale process in dialogue with multiple interested parties for certain of our business segments as a going concern and intend to leverage chapter 11 to maximize the value of our assets. We thank our employees, customers, and partners for their support and will work diligently to minimize any potential impact during the process.' Additional Information about the Court-Supervised Process DGA has secured an agreement for approximately $53 million in committed debtor-in-possession ('DIP') financing from an affiliate of Hilco to support its value maximizing strategy throughout its Chapter 11 cases, subject to Court approval. Additionally, to uphold its commitments to its stakeholders, DGA has filed several customary 'first day' motions. These motions, upon approval by the Court, will provide authorization for the continued payment of employee wages and benefits arising under programs that were in effect as of the petition date, the maintenance of certain customer programs, payments to certain critical vendors for prepetition amounts owed, payment to vendors for amounts owed on post-petition goods and services delivered to the Company, and other relief measures standard in these circumstances. DGA's non-U.S. affiliates are not part of the chapter 11 cases and will continue to operate while the Company considers the impact of asset sales and the optimal plan to maximize the value of the interests it holds in those subsidiaries. Additional information is available at Stakeholders with questions may call the Company's claims agent Kroll, toll-free at (877) 307-2977 (U.S. and Canada) or (646) 290-6127 (International), or email at dgateam@ Advisors Latham & Watkins LLP is serving as legal counsel, Huron Consulting Group LLC is serving as financial advisor and investment banker, and C Street Advisory Group is serving as strategic communications advisor to DGA.

How recruiters can move past taking hiring managers' orders — and become trusted advisors
This story was originally published on HR Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily HR Dive newsletter. SAN DIEGO — Despite all the hype, artificial intelligence likely won't take recruiters' jobs, Jeremy Eskenazi, managing principal at Riviera Advisors, Inc., told a SHRM 2025 audience Tuesday. Why's that? 'Nothing will ever replace the power of relationships,' he said. 'And at some point somebody has got to pick up the damn phone.' But to keep themselves crucial to an organization's strategic function, recruiters need to move beyond thinking of themselves as administrators and servers, Eskenazi said, and evolve into consultants that partner with hiring managers. Traditional recruiters work reactively, he noted, waiting for requisitions to come in, scheduling interviews and focusing on filling positions. Too often, they feel they work for hiring managers instead of alongside them. On the other hand, recruiters that prove themselves invaluable are trusted advisors, focusing more of their time on high-value, strategic work like developing proactive sourcing methods, building diverse talent pipelines, becoming industry experts and partnering with leadership on long-term talent needs. To develop their potential and shift away from low-value, administrative work, recruiters should automate whenever possible tasks like writing job descriptions, scheduling interviews and responding to generic emails, Eskenazi said. They should learn to say 'no' when necessary and establish boundaries with hiring managers who demand 24/7 access; 'If you say 'yes' to everything you're asked for, you're just like the Chili's server,' he said. The strategic role also involves learning to manage expectations. If a hiring manager wants to secure a Harvard-educated professional with 10 years of experience for a position in California and only pay them $60,000, for example, that person may need a reality check, Eskenazi said — and a strategic recruiter should not be afraid to provide that. Partnering with a hiring manager includes knowing when to say 'no,' although the approach can be more diplomatic. 'We never say 'no' directly, we say 'Hm, that's interesting … let me get back to you,'' he said; further research can help provide convincing evidence that a request is unreasonable. Approaching requests with curiosity and thoughtful questions can help hiring managers reframe their expectations as well. For example, Eskenazi said, if a hiring manager asks for someone exactly like the last hire, a recruiter might say, 'What made that person successful? Could another skill set work just as well?' If they ask for 15 years of experience and 10 credentials, a recruiter might counter by asking them to prioritize just three must-have skills. An intake meeting sets the right foundation, he said. Recruiters should use them to ask: 'What is the real business problem this hire needs to solve? What has worked (or failed) in previous hiring efforts for this role? If we can't find a perfect match, what are the 2-3 core skills that matter most?' Then they should follow up with an email or a checklist both parties agree on. But while strategic recruiters can and should take on a more active role, they need to know when to step back. 'Hiring is very emotional,' Eskenazi said, which is why recruiters should try to steer hiring managers toward the right candidate, but never insist on a final selection or say 'I told you so.' If they don't pick the right person, 'you have to be OK with it.'
