Which orgs were affected in the Microsoft layoffs?

Question

Just heard about the layoffs, and Im in the midst of interviewing at Microsoft. Does anyone know which orgs were affected and whether this might be the first wave of many?

Edit: Seems like this may be not be a large scale layoff, and only affects some contract workers at the company

I think it was way more role-specific rather than org-specific as I saw that almost all laid off people were in sales (some PMs too), AFAIK no SWEs got laid off (perhaps besides contractors)

From what I was looking at, family related apps in their “modern life” product line? Didn’t know they had such a thing but I guess there were apps in the App Store. Still seems kinda sus but if you search on LI, you’ll see a few posts from peoplehttps://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6962547297847042048?updateEntityUrn=urn%3Ali%3Afs_feedUpdate%3A%28V2%2Curn%3Ali%3Aactivity%3A6962547297847042048%29
